First Baptist Church in Beverly is a Christian church in the American Baptist tradition, that is a welcoming community for all people, regardless of their faith background or tradition. The church is a progressive congregation, whose heart is rooted in social justice and advocacy work. The church family seeks to be highly involved in the life of the wider community and to respond to its needs in a variety of ways, ranging from financial support to systemic change of support networks for vulnerable populations. We are a church family made up of people of all ages – from infants to older adults. We are children, families, and individuals; we are straight, we are LGBTQ individuals, we are from all parts of the gender spectrum, each uniquely and wonderfully created, each one of us a child of God; we come from all types of backgrounds and unique stories, and come together here in this church home. This is a church community with room and love for all.
