About Warren First Baptist Church:
First Baptist Church, established in 1897 in Warren Indiana is searching for a new Senior Pastor. Our Pastor for the last seven years has announced his plan to retire in January of 2024. We are seeking a full-time Pastor who has been called to lead our Church into its next chapter.
We are a Church of 100 plus members that average a weekly in-person attendance in the low 50s. Prior to Covid 19 that number was higher. During that time, we installed technology that would allow us to stream our worship services, and a number of our members and non-members attend online. We have multiple in-person Sunday School opportunities weekly ranging from pre-school age to young adult and Seniors.
Situated in a community of around 1200 people in a largely agricultural area, our congregation is a friendly, close knit group of people. Our church's guiding verse is Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good work, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
