About Us
First Baptist Church Tillsonburg began in 1853 as a small gathering of believers committed to worship and community service. After meeting in earlier locations for many years, the church moved to its current property on 18 Harvest Avenue and completed the construction of our present building in 2020. This move marked a new chapter — creating a welcoming, dedicated space for worship, discipleship, and outreach. Today, we continue to build on that legacy as we serve Christ and our Tillsonburg community.
