About Us

Today, the First Baptist Church in America continues its rich tradition of “soul liberty.” It holds firmly to Roger Williams’ founding principle of separation of church and state.

The First Baptist church in America is a dynamic, active congregation.  Through its weekly Sunday service, music, Christian education, and fellowship, it reaches out  to area college students as well as serving the needs of the community through membership in Better Lives Rhode Island, and the Rhode Island Council of Churches.  The church is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches/USA ,The American Baptist Churches of Rhode Island and the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America.

The First Baptist Church in America is open and welcoming to people who are seeking a richer faith and a deeper understanding of the Christian message.

Worship begins at 11:00 AM upstairs in the auditorium. (10:00 AM first Sunday in June – first Sunday in September)

Adult Forum and Sunday School begin at 10:00 AM in fellowship hall. (first Sunday after Labor Day – last Sunday in May)

There is no Worship held the last Sunday in May due to Brown University Graduation.

The auditorium is handicapped accessible and we provide child care. (There are no handicapped accessible restrooms.)

Who are the members of the First Baptist Church in America?

Sunday afternoon, March 25, Aurea presented a stunning performance of music, poetry, and readings entitled "New and Dangerous Opinions of Roger Williams!" Aurea is an artist cooperative founded by the performers who appeared in concert at the Meeting House, but which includes many others in other programs. Pictured here are: Charles Sherba, violin; Consuelo Sherba, viola; Chris Turner, harmonica, folk instruments, and reader; and Nigel Gore, dramatic reader. They fused the writings of Roger Williams with Native American poetry and the music of Handel, Orland di Lasso, Telemann, American music from the 18th century, and improvisations by Chris Turner on the harmonica and folk instruments of other nations.
