Our Story...

...began over 70 years ago in the Eaton Armory building on October 29, 1950. Since then, God has blessed us with  beautiful facilities on the corner of Maple St. and Lexington Rd. We are actually right across the street from the Eaton Little League fields. We are an independent Baptist church that is made up of people from every walk of life that come together throughout the week 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, both abroad and in our own backyard of America.

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