Where It All Started

First Baptist Church Buda was founded in 1882, when the community was known as DuPre. The congregation has been in continual existence through all these years. In the early days, the church only met once a month with rotating pastors. Since the end of World War II, it has proudly been a full-time congregation with a number of excellent ministers preaching and teaching God’s Word.

Today, FBC Buda is still fully involved in the Buda community. We have classes for every age group and a loving, caring congregation that will include you like family. We can’t wait to worship with you!

STATE AFFILIATION

First Baptist Church of Buda is a traditional, Biblically-based Southern Baptist Church. Although the church is autonomous and answers to no other authority than our God, as a church we have chosen to affiliate with certain Southern Baptist entities.

First Baptist Church Buda is affiliated with the Southern Baptist of Texas Convention (SBTC) which aligns with the Southern Baptist Convention nationally.

LOCAL AFFILIATION

First Baptist Church Buda works in connection with other Baptist churches in and around the Austin area to minister and reach our area for Christ. Our association supports such things as local church plants and aids in supporting and strengthening the local churches like our own. A portion of our offerings are given to support our Austin Baptist Association.

NATIONAL AFFILIATION

First Baptist Church Buda is a Southern Baptist church, meaning that we are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. The Southern Baptist Convention has 16 million members who worship in more than 45,000 churches in the United States. But that is not the greatest thing about Southern Baptists. The greatest thing about Southern Baptists is their cooperative approach to missions and reaching our world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Southern Baptists sponsor 5,000 missionaries serving the United States and it’s territories, Canada, and the Caribbean through the North American Mission Board, as well as sponsoring more than 5,000 foreign missionaries in 153 nations around the world through the International Mission Board. All of this is done through the Cooperative Program, a giving program that helps us, as a local church, sponsor all of these missionaries and other works all over the world. The SBC works with 1,175 local associations (ABA) and 42 state conventions (SBTC) sharing a common bond of basic Biblical beliefs and a commitment to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the entire world. A portion of our offerings are given to support the SBC. We also support the IMB through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and North American Mission Board (NAMB) through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering.
