Our History
First Baptist Church of North Highlands was established in 1952 by a small group of believers who felt called to establish a Baptist presence in the growing North Highlands community.
From its humble beginnings meeting in a local school building, the church grew steadily and moved to its current location on Watt Avenue in 1958. Over the decades, our church has been blessed to touch countless lives through various ministries, community outreach programs, and mission work.
Today, we continue our commitment to sharing the gospel and serving our community, building on the strong foundation laid by those who came before us.
