Maybe you are returning to church, or coming to church for the very first time. Or, maybe you're an active church member who just moved to town and needs to find a new church home. Whatever your story may be, you probably have a lot of questions before you visit Mountain Home's First Baptist Church.
Here's our attempt to guess what's on your mind and answer your questions. If we've missed something, let us know! You're probably not the only one with that question, so asking us will help us help you and future guests.
Child care for birth through Kindergarten is provided for worship services and Wednesday night activities. We have a wonderful staff of people who are here to serve you and provide learning activities for your children.
Fifteen minutes before each of our 2 services - 8:30 and 10:00am. We have reserved several guest parking spots conveniently located close to all entrances. We encourage you to stop by the coffee table and enjoy a free cup of coffee and check out the information desk for additional information you may need as you discover that First Baptist Church is a place where you can belong.

Why do newcomers make FBC their church home? [top]
Based on their feedback, it is clear that newcomers experience FBC as a safe and friendly place to be. Preaching and teaching are Biblical and balanced, leaders are not overbearing but committed to serve, children are well cared for, and everyone feels the openness, comfort and encouragement of a caring Christian fellowship. Most newcomers find that friends are easily made.
