Sunday Service

Our Sunday morning gatherings integrate traditional and modern practices to create a purposeful worship experience. We sing, stand for the reading of scripture, engage God’s word during a 25 minute sermon.

In this sermon series, Deliver Us: The Prayer of God’s People, we’re looking at the ways the Lord’s Prayer invites us to depend on God with things that are as “big” as presidential elections and as “small” as the bread we eat each day.

On the first Sunday of every month, we celebrate communion together at the Lord’s Table.

Please check our Calendar to stay up to date with our summer schedule.

Backyard Bonfire

A special event with Haverhill Commons. On Saturday, Nov. 2nd, we’re combining two backyards to host a an epic backyard bonfire with plenty of activities for the kids and at least 2 fire pits. We’ll gather around the flickering flames, roast marshmallows, enjoy the company and conversation.

We’ll provide food and drinks, and then, halfway through the evening, we’ll shift into a conversation about how our faith informs our engagement in a contemporary topic. These are open ended and flexible conversations, giving us a chance to practice our values of curiosity, authenticity, and humility.

You’re welcome to drop in for part of the evening or stay for the whole thing.

SoulCare Sunday

Practice what we preach! As a tangible way to embrace a different rhythm, we invite you to a special event with Haverhill Commons. Instead of gathering in our normal space for Sunday worship, on SoulCare Sunday, we partner with Rolling Ridge Retreat Center to practice Sabbath rest in community and embrace the wonderful rhythms of Fall.

The property at Rolling Ridge includes a quiet lakefront, green pastures, paths through the woods, two prayer labyrinths, manicured lawns, as well as gardens and community growing spaces. All only 10 minutes from downtown Haverhill.

A Spiritual Director will guide us through the spiritual practice of lectio in this beautiful outdoor setting . After some time in contemplation, we’ll gather to share our experiences of renewal and rest with each other, creation, and God

This event is open to adults and children, just let us know how many are attending so that we can plan accordingly.

All young adults 6th-12th grade are invited to join our youth group gatherings. There are interactive, student-directed, engaging times of connection, learning, and serving.

For more information, contact Margie Ferris or Zach Ferris.

One of our favorite Fall events is taking a trip to Cider Hill Farms in Amesbury. They've got a huge orchard full of apple trees, a peep of chickens, a bake shop, 4582 million pumpkins, and of course, cider donuts.

On Sept. 22th, after our Sunday service, we'll head over to Cider Hills and see what kind of fun we can have together. Get it on your calendar now!

Have you ever wondered what happens when we listen?  Or even what listening actually is? 

In a world of decreasing attention spans, listening is an art many of us haven't mastered quite as well as we might think or hope that we have.  None of us do it perfectly, and there are just so many places that communication breaks down.  But when we take a step back and look at what listening actually IS and the process for how we do it, we can become more mindful of what is going on.  The more aware we become, the more we are able to actively and intentionally become better listeners.  

So that's exactly what we're going to do!  In lieu of our usual Sunday morning service, we’ll be gathering for a workshop we’re calling Listening as a Labor of Love, led by Marcus Privitt.   We hope you can join us for this interactive workshop!  

You can register here or with the button below. We would LOVE to have a head count on how many kids will be attending and how much food to provide. We'll be offering something for children aged toddler through 5th grade during the workshop. 

Unfortunately, the space at First Baptist does not lend itself well to a Nursery, so we ask that children under 1 stay with parents and take breaks from the session needed.

Backyard Bonfire

A special event with Haverhill Commons. Instead of our typical Sunday worship service, we’re gathering in a different way as we embrace our alternative summer rhythm. To kick off the summer, we’re hosting a backyard bonfire where we’ll enjoy burgers and hot dogs, a host of summer sides, variety of beverages, and plenty of activities for the kids to enjoy.

Halfway through the evening, we’ll switch gears and host a conversation on the intersection of faith and and science. These conversations are open ended and flexible, giving us a chance to practice our values of curiosity, authenticity, and humility.

You’re welcome to come for the whole evening, or pop in for part.

Picnic at the Park

A special event with Haverhill Commons. We close out the summer with a picnic at Swasey Field/Park in Haverhill. This is a great way to get to know who we are in a laid back, welcoming setting.

The splash park will be in full swing, so remember to bring towels and have any kids wear bathing suits if that's something they'll want to do. We also recommend a few lawn chairs and/or a blanket to sit on.

Also welcome: frisbees, basketballs, baseball gear, footballs, and anything else you can think of that would be fun.

There is a small parking at the north end of the park and additional street parking

Serve Sunday

As part of our summer of alternative gatherings, we come together to serve our community for Serve Sunday. Instead of our normal worship service, we’ll gather in the Haverhill City Hall parking lot (where we usually park) at 9:30am. A representative from Team Haverhill will meet us and give us what we need to clean up the outdoor areas of Haverhill City Hall and the Haverhill Public Library.

This is a family friendly opportunity to serve our neigbhors in a tangible way. We hope you can join us!
