Welcome to the home page of First Baptist, Bristol! Whether you have arrived
here on purpose or by surprise, we’re 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, we’re 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, continuing to offer traditional worship and Bible Study
on Sunday mornings, but also stretching into modern worship and small
group Bible Study at other days and times as well. Are you searching for
a
life that matters, and for relationships that last? We invite you to
discover what your heart is searching for . . . with us!
