To First Baptist Church at Pedricktown

Welcome to the First Baptist Church at Pedricktown, NJ, affiliated with American Baptist Churches USA. Our mission is to birth and develop mature disciples of Jesus Christ characterized by faith, hope, and love.

We have a new pastor! Please help us welcome Carrie Biermann, MTS, MSc, MDiv, as our part-time bivocational pastor. We’re happy to welcome her to the ministry team, and we invite you to join us for worship or study as we grow together as a family in Christ!

We’re also updating our website soon, so until new things are posted, look around at what we’ve been doing in the last year or so in service, celebration, and ministry! Stay tuned!

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service

You are invited to join our church family as we celebrate on Christmas Eve, December 24th, at 7 pm at our acoustic guitar Candlelight Service. Families are welcome, and there will be battery-lit candles for the children to keep them safe. All are welcome – we mean it!

As we sing carols and listen to the story of Jesus’ birth, we look to the Light of life who came into the world because of God’s great love for us. We really hope you’ll join us. Because the Light is real, you are loved, and there is reason for hope, peace, joy, and love in the world. Come and see.

Sunday Schedule:

Worship Service begins at 10:00 am in the Sanctuary. We usually celebrate communion on the first Sunday of every month, and that week we also offer a Junior Church for our younger folk. A portion of the service is recorded and uploaded for later viewing and to make it accessible to those who are unable to attend. If you would like to receive the link each week, please contact the church office and let Pam know.

Sunday School! Sunday School is what we call the small groups that meet after the worship service. Several groups meet, offering vigorous conversation, great lessons, and fun activities for all ages. Our dedicated teachers will be offering classes for everyone, and it’s a great way to learn more about our faith as we grow! So join us for Worship at 10:00 am, grab coffee after, and then join a class at 11:15 to learn more and fellowship with others! Note: Sunday School is held September through May.

Youth Group:
Grades 1 to 8, meets every 2nd and 4th Wednesday night at 6:30 to 7:30 pm, September through May. The Joyful Noise Youth Choir practices before Youth Group, from 6 to 6:30 pm.

AGEEC: We also host the Amazing Grace Early Education Center, a preschool/elementary school for children ages two through grade three. For more information, call Shelley McFarland at 856-294-5433.
