Meet First Baptist Church at The Villages

First Baptist Church at The Villages began as a church plant in December 2001 with 70 people in attendance in the first worship service, which was held at a local funeral home. Today, the people at FBC The Villages meet together during one service each week to praise and learn about God. FBC At The Villages strives for each person to feel a sense of home when they walk through the front doors, whether it’s their first time or they’ve been around forever. The service begins with upbeat congregational singing led by the band, praise team, and 70-voice choir. God continues to bless the church and membership now totaling approximately 650 people who serve and worship God together. Online church is available for those unable to physically attend.
