First Baptist Church, Protestant church building in Center City, Philadelphia, United States.
The First Baptist Church stands at the intersection of 17th and Sansom Streets, featuring traditional Baptist architectural elements and red brick construction.
Founded in 1698, the congregation initially gathered in the Barbadoes Storehouse before establishing multiple locations throughout Philadelphia over three centuries.
The church maintains a music program with a choir and organ, continuing a tradition that began in 1804 when the first choir formed.
Sunday worship services take place weekly, with additional Bible study sessions and community outreach programs held throughout the month.
The congregation supported the establishment of Brown University through pastor Morgan Edwards, who emigrated from England in 1761.
