Founded in 1853, First Baptist Stanley creatively combines a solid Southern Baptist heritage with a bold pursuit of 21st Century relevance to offer your family a place to belong and to grow. Here's a little bit about us in a nutshell. Come worship with us in person to experience these things firsthand!
A Place of Passion - No one likes to be a part of something that they could either take or leave. First Baptist Stanley is a place for passionate people - people for whom faith is not a suit we wear on Sunday, but a love we show 24/7. Christ has changed our lives; and we will never get over that.
A Place of Mission - If there is one thing we are known for, it is our heart for the world around us. From times deep into our history even to the present, we have reflected God's heart for the globe. We have individuals in our church who have been on 100 mission trips. We continue to find fresh ways to help people everywhere find the assurance that we breathe in and out every day.
A Place of Hope - Never before in the life of our church has the world around us cried out for hope as desperately as she does today. So many times hope is offered, but beneath the surface, it is empty and meaningless. At First Baptist Stanley, we bypass the "maybe-so" hope that you can find elsewhere in the world, and instead proclaim the "know-so" hope that can only be found in the Lord Jesus Christ.
A Place Called "Home" - Each Sunday, several people come to check us out for the first time. Why don't you come to worship with us this coming Sunday at 11AM? We invite you to be our special guest and to make yourself at home. We look forward to meeting you and showing you how you can live a life of passion and purpose, infused by faith in our Hero Jesus Christ.
