First Baptist Church Broad Avenue has been a force for renewal in Memphis, and the mission is just getting started.
Under the leadership of Pastor Dr. Keith Norman, First Baptist Church Broad has been a significant force in revitalizing the Broad Avenue area. We are a community of authentic believers committed to one another and to the city we call home.
We exist to glorify God and share the gospel, the visible body of Christ sent into Memphis and beyond.
Meet Our Leadership"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." This is the directive Jesus gave, and it is ours.
To create a community of authentic believers and to witness a city transformed by the life changing reality of the gospel, as people come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Our beliefs are rooted in the truth of Scripture.
One eternally existing God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, perfect in love, holiness, justice, and mercy.
God reveals Himself through Jesus Christ, the visible image of God, through Holy Scripture, and through creation.
Humanity was made in God’s image for His glory, appointed as stewards of His creation.
In disobedience, we became distorted reflections of God, fracturing our fellowship with Him.
Through Christ’s sinless life, death, and resurrection, salvation is found in Him alone, by faith.
The Church is Christ’s visible body. He will return to judge all people and establish God’s kingdom.
