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.

Guest preacher Rev. Dr. Jim Hewitt will preach a sermon on “Living Carefully“
Scriptures include: Ephesians 5:15-20
We Welcome Rev. Dr. Jim Hewitt to our pulpit this morning. Dr. Hewitt earned his Master of Divinity at Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, Virginia. He completed his Doctorate of Ministry at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, now known as United Lutheran Seminary.
This is the season after Pentecost in the Christian year. Having celebrated the “birthday of the church” through the giving of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, we enter the Season after Pentecost for 24 weeks, to celebrate the existence of the church and recall her mission in the world. The liturgical color for the season is green, symbolic of the church’s growth and mission.
