History
Established in 1893.

In the Spring of 1892, a group of people met to explore the possibility of organizing a Baptist church in the Fullerton area, then a rural farming community in a little thought of slice of Southern California. In spite of many obstacles, the young church was encouraged and blessed by many sources of outside support, including help from sister churches in the local area such as the Baptist congregation in Orange, whose pastor conducted the first worship services at Fullerton First Baptist Church. Over 125 years later, we remain at the heart of downtown Fullerton as a community of passionate Christ-followers, renewed by God, and empowered to make a difference in the lives our families and friends, in Fullerton, Orange County, California, and the world.
