First Baptist Church of New Port Richey

6800 Trouble Creek Rd., New Port Richey, FL, 34653

First Baptist Church New Port Richey holds services at 6800 Trouble Creek Road, about two miles east of US 19 in Pasco County. The congregation describes its mission as knowing God, loving the community and reaching the world. Sunday worship takes place at 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. The earlier service is described as a traditional, blended service with a choir and orchestra, and the later service is contemporary and led by a worship band. Each runs a little over an hour, with adult Bible study classes meeting during both. Students in grades 6 through 12 gather in their own group at 9 a.m. and join the congregation for the 10:30 service. The church's website also lists a Wednesday evening gathering at 6 p.m. Services are streamed on Facebook and YouTube. The church describes a come-as-you-are atmosphere with no dress expectations. Guests are asked to stop at the Connection Center to fill out a connect card or to introduce themselves to a pastor or greeter, and the row of parking nearest the road is reserved for visitors. Children from birth through age five are checked in at a secured preschool area staffed by approved staff and volunteers, and first through fifth graders check in at a children's desk on the second floor. Children five and under are matched to a pickup code with a sticker system, and the church says all teachers and caregivers pass background checks. Beyond worship, the church lists ministries for children, students, young adults, women and men, a group for older adults called PrimeTimers, and Celebrate Recovery, a Christ-centered recovery program. The church's website also provides a missions page and a bulletin. The congregation is Baptist, and its statement of belief includes baptism by immersion.
