The mission of First Baptist Church is to glorify God, love others, and make disciples of Jesus Christ. The First Baptist Church of Freeport was founded in 1807.

Our congregation, including both members and non-members, numbers about 75, ranging from infants to some in their nineties. About fifty percent of the congregation lives in communities surrounding Freeport. Due to our location, tourists often attend the services, and during the school year students of local colleges may also attend. 

As a church we are committed to the centrality of Scripture in all areas of life. Our members, however, exhibit a refreshing range of theological and political beliefs, making our church a welcome home for Christians of all walks of life.

Our church recently changed its leadership model from one Elder/Pastor to a board of Elders and developed teams including: Buildings & Grounds, Family Ministry, Communications, Discipleship, Missions & Outreach, and Worship.

We are affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA and more specifically the American Baptist Churches of Maine.
