These are the worship services and occasionally other messages from First Baptist Church of Lawrence, KS, an American Baptist congregation. Though many of us come from diverse backgrounds, both religious and non-religious, we are glad to call ourselves "American Baptists." As American Baptists, we take seriously the need to minister and serve in our local community and around the world. We believe that it is our responsibility as a congregation to love others as God has loved us. We believe that to live out the gospel requires social justice and service to the poor alongside our worship and preaching.

As American Baptists, we are a church that believes fully in the freedom of each person to worship as he or she believes fit. We celebrate a diversity of cultural and theological beliefs throughout our church and denomination. We are an open-minded church willing to explore and challenge each other to more deeply understand the gospel of Jesus.

We hope you'll find something edifying, challenging, motivating, and/or comforting in our podcasts. Many blessings to you.
