Who we are
Welcome To First Baptist Camden!
A word from the Pastor: Welcome to The First Baptist Church of Camden. Most biographical sketches of a church begin with what the church is like. We want to start at the opposite end of the spectrum. We want to share with you what The First Baptist Church of Camden is not. It is not legalistic, nor is it moderate. It is not old fashioned, nor contemporary. It is not formal, nor informal. It is not stuck in the past, nor forgetful of its heritage. It is not lacking in sound doctrine, nor lacking in being relevant & practical. If you are looking for a church that is on one end or the other; The First Baptist Church of Camden is probably not for you.
If you are looking for a church that believes in being balanced, well-rounded, practical, rooted in doctrine and led by the Lordship of Christ, seeking to Glorify Him and all that He is for, and to us; First Baptist Church may very well be exactly what you're looking for. We are blood bought, Spirit taught believers who strive to glorify the Lord together.
