First Baptist Church of Morris began as a missionary church in 1854 with a group of twelve men and women. The church began with a missionary focus and continues to reflect that focus in the work that the congregation has done in the community. The first church building was erected in 1862 at the corner of Route 47 and Jackson Street. In 2007, the congregation moved to their new church at 1600 W Route 6. Our purpose is to glorify God and follow Christ's example of sharing the gospel, making disciples and serving others with love.
