Welcome to First Baptist Church, New Bern

where we have been worshiping and witnessing to the love of God for 200 years. It is our hope and prayer that you will discern the presence and promise of God through our community of faith. In the picture above, Rev. Barry Templeton leads the congregational singing on March 22, 2009. The Campbell University Choir is behind him as we count down the days to our bicentennial celebration on May 17, 2009. Go all the way to the bottom of the blog and click on the video clip to hear the Campbell University Choir sing "As I Went Down to the River to Pray."
