Who We Are

First Baptist Church of Jackson is located in the heart of the beautiful mountains of eastern Kentucky. We are a growing church situated on Main Street in downtown Jackson. For over one hundred years First Baptist has ministered to the community of Jackson with a desire to see people come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and grow in their spiritual walk with the Lord.

In keeping with the Great Commission, First Baptist Church of Jackson aspires to be a dynamic Christian community within the heart of Kentucky, centered in the worship of God and bearing witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord.

As Christ's disciples we strive to build vibrant lives, strong families, and a fellowship in which members care for and love one another and together seek the well-being of our city, state, and the world.

By the power of the Holy Spirit we seek to develop a vital preaching and teaching ministry, aimed at drawing men and women to Christ; healing, comforting and nurturing them in faith; equipping them for service, and deploying them effectively into all walks of life.

Why Does First Baptist Church exist?

To spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, first though ourselves and then through the city by word, deed, and community.  To bring about changes through the proclamation of God’s Word through a movement of ministries that change Jackson and through it, the world.  To bring glory to God through the power of the Holy Spirit that all peoples may see Him and find their highest delight in Him.
