‘They’re of different nationalities which makes us unique. It really looks like a multicultural panorama of who’s going there and I think that’s fantastic,’ church deacon Misener says
First Baptist Church has stood at the corner of March and Albert Streets as an evangelical Christian landmark and a beacon of faith, encouragement and hope in Sault Ste. Marie for more than 130 years.
In Oct. 1889 property was acquired on the corner of March and Albert Streets and construction of the church soon began. Rebuilding began and in Jan. 1934. Just 11 months after the fire the congregation began gathering in a new brick exterior building with seating capacity for 500 people.Beginning in March 2020, First Baptist Church - like all other places of worship - faced a new challenge in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We wore masks because we are told to obey those in authority over us unless they tell us that we cannot worship our Lord and Saviour.” “We have a number of people who have come back. Before COVID they left for whatever reason and have now come back.” Misener estimated the church currently has a congregation of 80 to 90 members attending Sunday morning services with room for many more.
