Our Mission
The Congregation of First Baptist Church, led by the Holy Spirit,
covenants to worship Almighty God and to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Consistent with the Great Commission, we will share our spiritual gifts beyond our doors with enthusiasm, generosity, and grace.
Our Vision
Alongside the community of faith in Martinsville and Henry County, we seek to serve and to love our neighbors of all ages – from the smallest children to the most seasoned adults – with care and attention to physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, just as Jesus did in his ministry.

Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon on “Holy Optimism“
Scriptures include: Psalm 85:8-13 and Ephesians 1:3-14
It’s tough to stay optimistic when things in the world seem to all be going downhill around us. Paul reminds the church in Ephesus of the abundant reasons we have to be optimistic in the face of this world through a blessing that shows from the foundations of the world to the present day, we are blessed by Christ’s presence among us.
