Who we are
In 2009 we celebrated the 145th anniversary of First Baptist Church of Mocksville. It was in a church conference on September 22, 1849 that Eaton Baptist Church authorized its pastor to open the church doors in the town of Mocksville for the reception of members. There is no record of any member having been received or any other efforts to establish a Baptist Church in Mocksville until nearly fifteen years later.
Records indicate that in February, 1864, Fork Baptist Church granted letters of dismission to five members to join in organizing a Baptist Church in Mocksville. In April 1864, Reverend Moses Baldwin was called as the first pastor. Worship services were held once a month, and nine members were added to the membership during his pastorate. He remained as pastor of the church until the first Sunday in September, 1867.
The church experienced a new period of growth beginning in 1930. In each pastorate new programs were adopted and goals for attainment were constantly met. Additions were made to the 1918 structure for educational use under the leadership of Reverend Waff and Reverend Fulghum in 1930 and 1939. The Cooperative Program was included in the budget for the first time in 1937. The church held its first Vacation Bible School in that same year.
Reverend A. Shane Nixon became pastor in March 2011.
Many people have given of themselves, their time, and their financial resources as First Baptist Church of Mocksville has moved forward. In a sense, the work has only just begun. The church comes to this point in her pilgrimage with a more clear understanding of the future. It is the prayer of the church family that we will grow in usefulness and influence and the church of Christ in the world.

First Baptist Church of Mocksville Mocksville Service Times
At FBC Mocksville we have two very distinct worship services on a weekly basis.
8:30 – Casual and Contemporary Service
Music that includes guitars, drums, and keyboards and features a praise team who leads in praise and worship style singing
Sermons that are similar in content to our other weekly worship but delivered in a style that matches the setting of the service
The relaxed atmosphere lends to a more informal dress style. We ask that while being respectful of where you are, you come as you are!
11:00 – Time-honored and Traditional Service
Music that includes a choir, various ensembles, and congregational singing. The music features piano and organ accompaniment.
The sermon is delivered in a more “high church” style. The service includes scripture lessons and formal rituals.
The more reserved mood lends itself to a more formal style of dress and decorum.
