We are a small congregation in Northern New York, affiliated with American Baptist Churches,USA. We are a conservative, evangelical, and ecumenical congregation involved in evangelism and world missions.

We were established in 1833 as a group of people who wish to win people to Christ, to help Christians grow, and to help people who hurt.

 Services are Sunday morning at 9:30.   See the Services Page for a copy of the weekly sermon.

Wednesday evening Prayer & Bible study has been changed!!! We now meet at the church on Thursday mornings from 11:00 to 12:00 noon!  Please come and join us - we meet year round unless the Carthage School District is closed due to snow!  We are presently studying the book of John after our time of prayer for missionaries and the needs of the church. Remember, "Prayer from the pew gives power to the pulpit."  

The women of First Baptist welcomes all ladies to join us for meetings several times throughout the year.  We have programs and conduct business, pray for and support several missionaries, and work on providing food for several events.

We are holding the annual Spring rummage sale and bake sale on Apr. 3 - 5 this year at the church.  If you have donations, please sned an e-mail to the pastor at PastorFBCCNY@aol.com or call the church at 493-1232 for more information.
