The College ministry of First Baptist seeks to provide opportunities for college students to find a hospitable and challenging community of faith where their faith will be nurtured and their call to serve the world will find opportunities. Aside from being conveniently located on the campus of Carson-Newman College, First Baptist offers students many opportunities to develop their faith and extend their service through congregational programs and ministries, as well as programs and ministries geared especially toward college students.

We also offer a free Wednesday Night Supper to college students from 5-6 pm in the Fellowship Hall. 

Our College Sunday School Class meets at 9:30 on Sunday mornings in Room 301 and provides a time of fellowship and study with breakfast provided.

First Baptist has a large and active Adopt-a-Student program that provides things from home-cooked meals to warm hugs to a place to do laundry in a church member's or family's home.  If you would like to be an adopted student, please fill out the form on this page and we will get back with you as soon as we have a family for you.
