FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF SPRINGBORO

Knowing God

Loving God

Serving God

First Baptist Church of Springboro is an independent Baptist church that has been serving its community for over two decades. Since its beginning in 1994, First Baptist has desired to show people how they can know God personally, grow in their love for God, and together serve God through various ministries and outreach opportunities.

You will find First Baptist to be very hospitable and extremely welcoming. Our worship services are designed to honor and glorify our Saviour, Jesus Christ, through uplifting music and dynamic preaching from God’s Word in a traditional church atmosphere. Our church is composed of ordinary people who serve an extraordinary God. So no matter who you are, you are welcome to join us as we grow together in Christ.

Our Pastor

Pastor Rick Carr was born and raised in a Christian home in the small town of Goshen, Ohio. He was brought up in the First Baptist Church of Milford, Ohio where at age six he received Christ as his personal Saviour. He graduated from Goshen High School at age 17 and enrolled into Hyles-Anderson Bible College in Crown Point, Indiana. His plans were to attend Bible college for one year and then return home, attend the University of Cincinnati and major in Accounting and begin working in his dad’s business. However, during this year in Bible college, he felt the call of God to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and on Sunday evening, December 10, 1989, he surrendered to that call. In May of 1994 Pastor Carr graduated from Hyles-Anderson. Through prayer and council, pastor Carr and his wife moved to Miamisburg, Ohio to start the Lighthouse Baptist Church.

He and his wife, Sharon, were high school sweethearts and have been married since 1991. They have three children, Brittany, who recently graduated from West Coast Baptist College, Eric and Dustin who are seniors in high school.

In 2003, the Lord answered a miracle-asking prayer and provided 10 acres to the church along I-75 in Springboro. When they moved to their new location, they changed the name of the church to First Baptist Church of Springboro.

Other Questions?

If there’s something we missed on this list, feel free to contact us or ask a greeter when you arrive. Whether you’re new to the area and looking for a church home, or if it’s been a long time since you have attended church at all, we hope your first visit to First Baptist will be a wonderful experience! We desire to serve you and your family to best of our ability. We look forward to meeting you personally!

Where do I go when I arrive?

It’s hard to miss our church right off of Interstate 75. When you get off the highway and turn towards Springboro, you’ll see a Chipotle. Turn onto Greenwood Ln as if you were going to Chipotle but keep going, pass the hotel, and you’ll end up right in our church parking lot. You’ll find visitor parking, a covered canopy for drop-offs, and a friendly face at the welcome center to greet you and answer any of your questions.

Most adults attend the morning Worship Service at 11:00 in the auditorium where they enjoy the traditional worship music, the warm fellowship, and the practical Bible preaching of Pastor Carr. You are welcome to attend one of many Bible Classes during the 10:00 hour, as well. These classes are smaller group settings where you can meet people, enjoy some coffee and donuts, and hear a Bible lesson directly applicable to your stage of life. This is the best way to get to know the people of our church while growing in your faith.

Where do I take my children?

We believe children are a gift from God. That is why each service offers something special for every child. Safe, clean, and well-staffed nurseries for children three years old and under are available at every service. Children four years old through sixth grade experience fun, friendly, and Bible-centered classes on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. These classes are staffed with trained, friendly, and well-qualified teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child.
