Welcome. First Baptist Church of Malden (FBC) is located at 493 Main St., Malden, Massachusetts, USA. Year, 2003, marked her 200th year of existence as a dynamic church since her founding on December 27, 1803. Identified with the American Baptist Churches in the United States of America, FBC, Malden has long since lived up to her role in bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to people of various backgrounds in the local, national, and international communities carried out by the church’s membership.
Sundays – A NEW SEASON!
We are excited to share that beginning on Sunday, November 20th, 2022 – at 11:00 AM and for a season, Maplewood Baptist Church (MBC) will be worshiping together with First Baptist Church (FBC) of Malden located in 493 Main Street. MBC was birthed out of FBC 150 years ago, when most people walked to a neighborhood church – and there was no Baptist Church in the Maplewood neighborhood. Listen to Worship Service here.
Now, these many months later, it seems as if the Lord is leading us to come back together for a time to praise Him on Sundays! How long will this continue? Only God knows! Are we merging the two churches? That “m” word has never come up in the conversations between the two leadership teams. God is leading His churches (even as He often leads each of his children individually) one step at a time. We’re simply taking a step…
I will be leading worship each Sunday and preaching as FBC is presently without a pastor. We will continue to offer recorded service on this web site – BUT – if YOU have been away from “in person” worship, I hope you will prayerfully consider coming back to enjoy it and be with God’s people, face to face. In all things, past, present and future, we will continue to trust God and wait for His leading – Pastor Gary McClenthen.
Discipleship has always been ongoing and growing strong with the purpose of guiding and equipping the members for witnessing and caring of their fellowmen. Christian mission has been the stalwart activity of the Church knowing that the world needs urgent help in these present times of turmoil and strife.
The purpose of our Church, as a congregation is to provide for the public worship of God and lead people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through faith by God’s grace. The church ensures the continuance of a ministry that will be relevant and meaningful to persons of all ages, races and nationalities. Some of the many objectives of the church are to promote Christian education, to practice Christian benevolence, and to spread Christian influence in the community.
First Baptist Church, Malden is affiliated with the Adoniram Judson Baptist Association, The American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts, The American Baptist Churches in the United States of America, The Baptist World Alliance, The Massachusetts Council of Churches, The National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States of America, and The World Council of Churches.
Any person who acknowledges the Baptist tradition and confess Jesus Christ to be his or her Savior and Lord, may become a member of the Church upon the vote of the Diaconate in accordance with any of the following procedures, i.e., by Baptism, by Letter of transfer, by Experience, by Confession of Faith, and by Reinstatement. Membership will be effective with the receiving of the right hand of fellowship.
