First Baptist Church in Ottawa, Kansas, is a welcoming community where people from all walks of life can gather to celebrate the inclusive love of Jesus. Sunday mornings are filled with uplifting worship at 9:30 am, followed by a cherished time of fellowship where conversation, laughter, and snacks bring everyone together. At 11:15, our Sunday school opens its doors to all ages, offering opportunities to grow in faith and understanding. Whether attending in person or joining online through Facebook Live, YouTube, KOFO radio, or our podcast, we strive to make worship and spiritual growth accessible for everyone. Special moments like monthly Communion and additional prayer offerings help deepen our connection with God and one another.

We believe that faith is best experienced through love, community, and service. First Baptist encourages members to encounter God in their own unique journey, whether that means a first-time connection, a renewed curiosity, or a deeper discipleship. Our church nurtures meaningful relationships, supports families, and creates a space where everyone can experience encouragement and belonging. Serving others in the community is a central part of our mission, reflecting the fullness of God’s love in action. By loving God, loving others, and serving the world, we hope to inspire a vibrant, caring, and spiritually enriched community where all are embraced and empowered.
