Welcome to First Baptist Church of Pendleton!

The start of a new year is an opportunity to start over and create the world anew through resolutions, hopes, and dreams. This is the season of Epiphany, when we recognize how God is revealed to us. Our worship theme for this season will be Created Anew.

As a community of faith, we explore what it means to be followers of Jesus in a new calendar year and see Christian identity in a new way. Through Scriptures spanning various sections of the Bible, may we discover new and creative ways to explore what it means to be a baptized Christian in the world today.

We begin at the beginning, with Genesis 1:1-5, God Creates.

As we aspire to keep Jesus at the center of our lives, we are Rooted in Faith, and Growing in Love. We endeavor to be a welcoming and affirming community of grace for all people, loving our neighbors because God first loved us.
