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.
In another windfall, the Presbyterians had vacated a building on the corner of Wilshire and Pomona, allowing this new group of Baptists to hold services in this house of worship.
Needless to say, the church has gone through many changes since the signing of the charter on January 15, 1893, evolving into the up-to-date campus we have today. In particular, the Building Up! campaign has brought us into the 21st century. In a word, the church is now "wired." We have updated the multi-purpose room which is used for such diverse activities as basketball, banquets, concerts and special events/worship services as well as updating our worship center, renewing its vitality by once more making it into a warm, inviting place, equipped with the latest audio/visual capabilities.
But most importantly the church's vitality is reflected in our ongoing commitment to use our facilities and our gifts to reaching out to the community at large with the life changing message of Jesus Christ.
