First Baptist Church was established in 1858 but was not located at our present location at 13th and Osage. In 1957, land was purchased, and the church was relocated to our present location, from downtown Leavenworth. We are affiliated with the American Baptist Churches of the USA, located within the American Baptist Churches of the Central Region. First Baptist is evangelical in nature. We believe in the historic, biblical Christian faith. We seek to keep true to the Holy Scriptures in our faith and practice and to boldly proclaim the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ.
