Return to Worship at First Baptist

Features of the return:

  • All worshipers will enter the building at the 16th Street entrance (the only entrance available during the next phase of construction).

  • Those using the FBC parking garage will take the elevator that leads to The Drake apartment lobby, then use sidewalk along O Street to the sanctuary entrance on 16th Street. FBC Greeters will be present to welcome and give direction.

  • At least one of our new elevators will be operational when we return. The ramp leading to the sanctuary entrance has been widened and will be available for those using wheelchairs.

Sunday morning safety measures include:

  • Masks required inside the building at all times

  • Contact tracing upon entering the building

  • Practice of social distancing

  • Enhanced cleaning of Sanctuary and other public spaces each week

Church-wide Texting System

We now have a new way for everyone to connect to the church whether you worship in-person or online. It's simple. All you do is text a phrase (see below) to 94000. You will then be promoted to fill out a few simple questions.

If you are new to First Baptist: Text “CONNECTFBCDC” to 94000

To send a prayer request: Text “PRAYERFBCDC” to 94000.
Respond to the prompts, including whether the request is to be held confidentially by our pastoral staff or whether you would like this to be included in our churchwide prayer list.

To check-in to follow COVID safety protocols: Text “CHECKINFBCDC” to 94000 and respond to the prompts.
