First Baptist Church Arkadelphia
175th Anniversary

Since the original 16 members presented their letters to form the Arkadelphia Baptist Church on July 15, 1851, First Baptist Church of Arkadelphia has continued to faithfully serve the Lord and the community. In 2026, we are excited to celebrate our 175th year and remember the great Cloud of Witnesses that in obedience to God and cooperation with the Spirit has sustained this local body of believers.
 
Celebratory events and important dates are listed below. We also encourage any group - from Sunday School classes to committees - to find ways to celebrate the history and stories of FBC throughout the year.
