Who we are

First Baptist Church Blackwood was founded in 1969 by Pastor Silas McMurray. Pastor Silas served as Pastor until 1975 when his son, David, was elected Pastor and continues to serve in that capacity.   Since that time First Baptist has served the citizens of Gloucester Township and has been involved in countless ministries in its 40 year history.

Since the inception of our church back in 1969 (with twenty-two members), we have known God's presence.  Our existence and growth is due to His faithfulness rather than our own endurance.

Our future and our support of various ministries and programs is based upon the  promise "that He who begun a good work in you will complete it" and the challenge that "there remains very much land yet to be possessed."

First Baptist Church participates in and supports many ministries.  Outreach to the community has been and will continue to be our mission.
