Building on our past, looking towards the future
Nashville First Baptist Church has been a caring community of faith with a heart for the people who live, work, and enjoy downtown for 200 years. We connect people to Christ, His church, and to one another for the sake of the gospel. Our bicentennial events have been put on hold for now. We hope to celebrate our anniversary when we regather. Join us as we celebrate God’s work through us by looking at some of our history articles.
