Who we are

At First Baptist Church of Newburgh, we are more than a congregation—we are a multi-cultural, multi-generational family of believers, united by our shared faith and our mission to reach, embrace, and serve with God’s message of grace, love, and hope.

Here we celebrate the rich diversity that God has woven into our community. People from all walks of life, backgrounds, cultures, and generations come together to worship, grow, and serve. Whether you’re just beginning your spiritual journey or have walked with Christ for years, you are welcome here.

Our church is rooted in the belief that the Kingdom of God is inclusive, and we strive to reflect that in all we do. We welcome everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, ability, socioeconomic status, or life experience, because we believe each person is created in God’s image and worthy of love and belonging.

Together, we are building a community where authenticity is valued, relationships are nurtured, and lives are transformed by the power of Christ. We invite you to join us as we live out our faith, serve our neighbors, and grow in unity and purpose.

You belong here.
