First Baptist Church, Stratford, Iowa 

165 years of serving Christ...and counting!

Our Vision: Being, Doing, Giving and Growing

"Give and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be put into you bosom..." Luke 6:38...we give, not because we have to in order to check some spiritual box, but because we want to see God's work continue around the world..

On June 28, 2025, we will have a benefit for Donna Erickson, who has been dealing with cancer and other health issues, which resulted in a lengthy hospital stay. We will be rasing funds to assist, not only with past medical expenses, but future expenses that may not be covered by insurance. Clicking on the button will redirect you to the First Baptist Church PayPal site. When checking out, just specify that it is for "Benefit" so that the funds can be directed appropriately.
