Nurture. Love. Serve. ALL.
We’re proud of our Baptist history and heritage, but we’re also proud of our diversity. At First Baptist you will find a group of people coming from a variety of different church backgrounds and denominations who have found a home at the “top of Poplar.” And while our congregation comes from all over middle Georgia, we are a downtown church and see it is our mission to be the presence of Christ to our InTown and College Hill communities here in Macon.
Christians tend to read the diversity of languages in the story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 as an act of divine punishment. But a closer look reveals that punishment is no where in the story itself. Rather, it's an assumption we bring. What if we saw the diversity of creation not as a stumbling-block to be overcome, but a part of God's design?
