First Baptist Church of Howland — Local services in Howland Township

Welcome to First Baptist of Howland

I’ve been attending First Baptist of Howland since 2020, and I’m continually blessed by the faithful expository teaching and the loving, Christ-centered community here. We are a Bible-believing, Christ-centered church committed to preaching God’s Word and building a grace-filled body of believers.

Our Teaching: At First Baptist of Howland, we are passionate about expository preaching—teaching verse by verse through Scripture to help believers grow in a deep and lasting relationship with Christ. While guest speakers may occasionally bring topical messages, the foundation of our teaching is always the faithful exposition of God's Word.

What We Believe (website has our statement of faith included) We hold to Reformed theology in our understanding of salvation—trusting in the sovereign grace of God, the authority of Scripture, and the sufficiency of Christ. It’s a place where grace, truth, and spiritual growth come together. We seek to glorify God in all we do and to walk in His truth with humility and love.

Our Gatherings: 9:30 AM – Discipleship Class 10:45 AM – Worship Service

First Sunday of each month – Meet & Greet Fellowship Meal: A special time to connect, share food, and enjoy genuine fellowship. Visitors are always warmly welcomed.

This is The Church, not a culturally relevant...
