First Baptist Church of Salado

The story of a church is...the story of God's interaction with people. In the early years of Salado Baptist Church of Christ, God interacted with circuit rider preachers and early settlers of Salado to lay the foundation for what was to become the First Baptist Church of Salado, Texas.

First Baptist Church, Salado...has experienced many noteworthy changes during its 145 years as a church. Even the name has changed, twice. Through all the changes, however, the church has been blessed with a spirit of unity and purpose. This spirit has enabled the church to build and grow and become a spiritual stronghold in the village of Salado. The legend that Salado Creek possessed "special curative powers?"  It happens regularly on the north side of the Creek, at FBC. God is moving and people are responding!

The story of a church is...the story of God's interaction with people. We are the people. It is now our turn to be the teachers, youth workers, children's workers, deacons, missionaries, givers, and church builders. It is now our turn to uphold the legacy of steadfastness, determination, and faithfulness. May we uphold that legacy with a renewed energy and excitement as we pray and plan and continue to build His Kingdom.
