Welcome to the
home page of First Baptist, Bristol! Whether you have arrived here on
purpose or by surprise, were glad you've come!
Enjoy some of the highlights of
our site . . .
First Baptist, Bristol is literally on the state line between Tennessee and
Virginia, with our sanctuary being in Virginia by about thirty feet! Founded in
1859, our congregation has grown with the city, and we serve, not just Bristol,
but the entire northeast area of the Tri-Cities region. The Tri-Cities
metropolitan area includes Bristol, Virginia and Bristol, Kingsport, and Johnson
City, Tennessee, with a regional population of nearly half a million people.
As a downtown congregation, were excited to be a part of the revitalization
of State Street, not only in terms of physical renovations, but more
importantly, in terms of spiritual renewal. We're growing into a new chapter of
our congregation's life. In the summer of 2009 we started offering
modern worship
in addition to our traditional worship service on Sunday mornings, and we
continue to offer Bible study groups on Sunday mornings as well as at other
times of the week.
