Welcome to First Baptist Church of Gary, Indiana! We are delighted that you’ve taken the time to visit our website.

At First Baptist, we are more than a congregation—we are a thriving, intergenerational, Christ-centered, Spirit-filled community of believers. Rooted in our historic legacy and moving boldly into the future, we are committed to living out the love of Jesus Christ in the heart of Gary and beyond.

​

Whether you are new to the area, looking for a church home, or simply exploring what faith in Jesus means, we want you to know that there is a place for you here. You will find worship that is alive with the Spirit, preaching that speaks to both heart and mind, ministries that nurture spiritual growth, and a community that welcomes you as family.

​

Our mission is to serve Means Manor, the city of Gary, and the world by sharing the gospel, embracing diversity, and extending radical hospitality. We believe in being a church where generations gather, gifts are nurtured, and God’s people are empowered to live with hope, purpose, and joy.
