About First Baptist Church
First Baptist Church in Independence, Iowa is an American Baptist congregation dedicated to helping people pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. The church welcomes everyone—young or old, single, married, and all backgrounds—with the belief that there is space for each person in their church family. They offer two Sunday worship services with different styles: a traditional service at 9:00 AM featuring classic music with piano and choir, and a contemporary service at 10:30 AM with modern instrumentation. Both services include music, prayer, and Bible teaching relevant to everyday life, each lasting approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. The church provides KidZone children's ministry for infants through fifth grade, student ministry, and various ways to connect through groups, service opportunities, and online engagement.
