We are an independent Baptist church that is made up of people from every walk of life who come together to worship and serve the Lord. Our folks have such a heart for getting the Gospel around the world that it has led us to support over eighty missionaries abroad and in our own backyard of America.

Our Story...

...began over 70 years ago in the Eaton Armory building on October 29, 1950 with just thirteen members.

Then...

...in 1955 God blessed us with beautiful facilities on the corner of Maple St. and Lexington Rd. right across the street from the Eaton Little League fields.

In 2012...

...we began a new chapter of our story when our pastor of forty-two years, Fred Hill, retired and God gave us a new pastor, Andrew Stensaas. We are so excited by the vision that God has given him for our church.

And now in 2023...

...God has been so good to our church in seeing many come to know Christ as their Savior and grow in their walk with the Lord. In 2021, spurred by growth, we began the search for a new property. By 2022, double services became necessary as our church continued to thrive. In May of 2022, L&M Products proposed a property swap and we began negotiations. After much prayer and the hand of God being shown through the entire process, the Lord blessed us with the purchase of this current building in March of 2023.

We are excited about what the Lord is doing at First Baptist Church and look forward to seeing the great things He has in store for us in the near future. First Baptist Church has been serving Preble County and the Eaton community for over seventy years and we're looking forward to many more to come!
