Values that lead us
02
We engage in a variety of ministries to and with our neighbors—near and far—from urban gardening and home/neighborhood improvement projects here in Dayton to a mission partnership with Baptists in El Salvador involving food security and access to education. Christ has called us to a life of service, and we invite you to answer that call, too, by getting involved.

Children and youth of all ages at First Baptist are welcomed and loved, and we value their insights and their gifts. They join with the whole church in being taught and nurtured in Christian faith through worship, Bible study, service and fellowship.
First Baptist Church of Dayton was founded on May 29, 1824. Read about the path that led us to where we are today.
