Church is more than a service we attend. We are a body of believers called to grow, serve, and walk together.

At First Baptist Church of Galeton, we are committed to biblical teaching, genuine fellowship, evangelism, accountability, spiritual growth, and ministry. We believe God has given each believer a place and a purpose within the body of Christ, and our desire is to glorify Him as we faithfully serve together.

Throughout the week and throughout the year, you'll find opportunities for every age and season of life to study God's Word, build meaningful relationships, serve others, and make Christ known.

We invite you to find your place and join us.

Adults

Sunday School

Every Sunday at 9:45 AM, our adults gather to study God's Word together. Classes cover a variety of biblical topics throughout the year in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Grab a cup of coffee from the kitchen and join us.

Wednesday Prayer Meeting

Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM are devoted to Bible study and prayer. We spend time in God's Word and then pray together, bringing the needs of our church, community, and others before the Lord.

Adult Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School isn't only for children at FBC! Each summer, we also offer a week-long VBS program for adults, providing another opportunity to study God's Word and fellowship together.

Men's & Women's Prayer Breakfasts

Each month, the men and women of FBC gather separately for breakfast, fellowship, and prayer. These mornings provide an opportunity to encourage one another and faithfully bring the needs of our church and community before the Lord.

Children

We believe children are never too young to begin learning the truth of God's Word. Our children's ministries are designed to help kids know God, build friendships, and grow in their understanding of Scripture in a safe and caring environment.

Lighthouse

During the school year, children gather every Wednesday evening for Lighthouse—a time of Bible teaching, Scripture, activities, and fellowship created especially for kids. Our desire is to help children grow in their knowledge of God's Word, build friendships, and learn what it means to follow Christ.

Girls of Grace

Girls of Grace is a discipleship and friendship ministry for girls in 2nd through 6th grade. Meeting once a month throughout the year, the girls spend time together building friendships and learning what it means to know, love, and faithfully follow Christ.

Vacation Bible School

Each summer, our church comes alive for a week of Vacation Bible School! Through Bible teaching, music, games, and activities, children are introduced to the truths of God's Word and the good news of Jesus Christ.

Teens

The G-Town Eye

Our Youth Group is for teens ages 13–18 and meets every Wednesday at 6:30 PM. Each week, our teens gather to spend time in God's Word, grow in their faith, and build friendships with one another.

But youth group life doesn't stop on Wednesday nights. Our teens also get together each month simply to spend time together, have fun, and build the kind of friendships that come from doing life alongside one another.

And when we say they do a little bit of everything—we mean it! From trips to the Ark Encounter and Sight & Sound to Pumpkin Olympics, game nights, bonfires, escape rooms, and plenty of adventures in between, there's always something happening.

Our desire is to give teens a place where they are known, encouraged, grounded in the truth of God's Word, and surrounded by friendships that help them grow in Christ.

Life Together at FBC

We believe fellowship is an important part of life in the body of Christ.

Throughout the year, our church family gathers to share meals, pray together, build relationships, serve alongside one another, and simply enjoy time together.

Monthly Fellowship Lunches

On the third Sunday of each month, our church family gathers for a fellowship lunch following the morning service. Bring your appetite and stay awhile—there is always room at the table.

Annual Sunday School Picnic

Each year, our church family gathers for our Sunday School Picnic—a day of food, fellowship, games, and time together as a church family.

Special Events & Fellowship

Throughout the year, you'll also find Souper Sundays, game nights, special meals, church work days, road trips, seasonal events, and other opportunities to spend time together.

There's always something happening at FBC, and we'd love for you to be a part of it.

Serving others and sharing the Gospel are an important part of life at FBC. We believe we are called not only to gather together but to reach beyond the walls of our church with the love and truth of Jesus Christ.

Ways to Serve

We believe God has uniquely gifted every believer for a purpose.

Scripture teaches that the body of Christ is made up of many members, each with different gifts, abilities, and roles—but every part is important. At First Baptist Church of Galeton, we love helping people discover how God has gifted them and finding a place where they can use those gifts to serve Him and others.

Whether your gifts are in teaching, music, working with children or teens, hospitality, encouragement, prayer, outreach, building and fixing, organizing, or simply being willing to lend a hand, there is a place for you to serve at FBC.

Come serve alongside us. There's a place for you here.
