Worship services are 5:30 PM Sundays. The Garden Club has designed and created the lovely flower beds and the landscaping around the church building and is now working with the city in the design of the new Wacouta Commons ( a new urban park directly south of the church). First Baptist Church is an active participant in the downtown community partnering with social service agencies such as Dorothy Day Center, Naomi Family Center, Martha's Closet, Listening House, and SafeZone on a variety of projects.
