Then & Now

First Baptist Church began on September 27, 1961, in Framingham when two local families met with an area missionary, the pastor, and a representative from Rice Memorial Baptist Church for a weekly home Bible study. Less than a year later, the first Sunday worship was held in April 1962. A Women’s Missionary Union was organized in April 1963. On October 11, 1963, the church was constituted as Calvary Baptist of Framingham with thirty-seven charter members.

Over the last fifty years, the church has worked with local and state partners to serve the Boston and Metro-west area. Churches have been planted, resources have been given, and sacrifices have been made for the truth of Christ to reach all who will hear.

Today we are a family of believers committed to Christ, His word, and His mission. We want to live as authentically as possible, having joy in all circumstances and being united around the person of Christ and His truth. And we want to live sacrificially on an ambitious mission, loving our neighbors as ourselves by serving locally as well as around the globe. We hope you will come and experience for yourself what our community is striving to become.
