Our History

First Baptist Church of Vienna (FBCV), founded in 1867, is the first and oldest church in Vienna, Virginia, founded by several African Americans working on a Vienna farm owned by Major O.E. Hine. 

Our Mission

First Baptist Church of Vienna is a diverse congregation rooted in the African American worship tradition. We will develop and deepen our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through preaching, teaching, ministry development and advocacy, we will celebrate Christ, expand the Kingdom, and influence society. 

Our Vision

First Baptist Church of Vienna empowers believers, evangelizes the lost, and disciples the saved.

Our Core Values

Our core values are Inspired by the work of Robert Schnase’s “Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations.”

  • RADICAL HOSPITALITY – Extending Love & Offering Christ
  • PASSIONATE WORSHIP – Creating Space to Encounter God
  • INTENTIONAL FAITH DEVELOPMENT – Learning and Faith Formation
  • RISK-TAKING MISSION & SERVICE – Opportunities to Meet the Needs of Others
  • EXTRAVAGANT GENEROSITY – Giving of Resources to Bless Others
