If worship or other major events are cancelled or postponed, we will post the cancellation on the church website, on the church facebook page and send an email to our Spire mailing list. We will also notify KCCI-TV channel 8. For smaller group events (choir, committee meetings, etc.) group members will be notified by phone or email.

We are an American Baptist congregation located in the heart of the Iowa State University community.  First Baptist is a mix of families, students, current and retired ISU faculty and staff, and folks from all over the Ames community.  We strive for:

• joyful worship that engages both heart and mind
• deep fellowship that enriches our life together
• compassionate service in our community and world 

We are located in Campustown in Ames, one block south of the ISU Memorial Union.  We are "building an inclusive family of faith" and invite you to join us!
