Welcome to the First Baptist Church of Monroe, an open and progressive congregation of Baptist Christians committed to a journey of serious study, intentional worship, loving and compassionate fellowship and hands-on ministry. We're delighted you found your way to our website. Now we invite you to join us for Bible study, worship, fellowship and ministry in the heart of downtown Monroe.

Union County is the seventh fastest growing county in the United States, so you may be among our newest neighbors. If you're looking for a church to be your family of faith, we hope you'll consider this one. We're excited about the vision God has given us, expressed by our theme for 2008-09: The Church exists by mission as fire exists by burning.

Come visit us this Sunday. You'll find a congregation of people with open hearts and open minds, guided by an open Bible, known for an open door.

You are welcome here.

John Hewett
