At Monroe's First Baptist Church, we make a big deal about being "a place for family, friends, and faith." This place for ministry has stood at the corner of Wayne and McDaniel for over 170 years. For all those generations, it was and continues to be a spiritual center to the Monroe and Walton County community. The three words that follow "place" tell of the things that matter most.

The word "family" speaks of our commitment to forge strength in our closest personal relationships. We care about your family, no matter what its shape, size and structure. In another sense, we are family for each other. In this hurried and transient world, we all need an extended family in which we can grow and belong. First Baptist Monroe is committed to that.

And at FBC, we make friends and sustain meaningful relationships. We share in each other's joys and sorrows, and know the importance of sharing those times together.

The glue that holds us together, and the single motivation that drives us forward is our faith. We are serious about being and developing fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. From the blessing of the tiniest baby to caring for the eldest of saints, we strive to share the grace of God in a way that is rich, deep and meaningful. At First Baptist Monroe, you can expect to find a church home that cares for you and wants to bring you closer to God. Welcome to our fellowship, and please know that there is a space reserved just for you inside this "Place for Family, Friends, and Faith."
