Morgantown First Baptist Church has a family fellowship that starts and ends with our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. He is our focus! As sinners saved by grace, we strive to grow everyday and share Jesus with those we meet. Everyone is invited and welcome to worship with our church family.

A message from Greg:
As we enter March, I want to thank you for the wonderful support for Love Month activities. Over 2,000 valentines for the nursing home, multiple items for the women’s jail ministry, and many items of food for the Morgantown Mission food pantry were given. Your generosity and faithfulness to these causes were amazing. Thank you!
The last two months we have been hearing about Jesus’ message from the Sermon on the Mount. I hope it has challenged us to strive and obtain those qualities that Jesus was giving the crowd so many years ago. This month, we will begin our journey toward Easter. I hope we will experience the joy and excitement that should come when we see what God did for us on that resurrection morning. May you begin now to pray and attend so that we can feel the presence of God’s love in a mighty way.
