History

We have always been a church reaching out into the community with the good news of Jesus Christ. First Baptist Church began as a Sunday School under the trees, just off Pony Express Trail during the summer of 1936. As winter approached the people began meeting in the local school. The work continued to grow and the church became known as Pollock Pines Community Church. As the church continued to grow the need for a building became apparent. In 1949 the original church building was dedicated. In 1967 the church became the First Baptist Church of Pollock Pines. The church has continued to grow during the intervening years. Three building programs have expanded the church facilities. We look forward to the Lord's leading for the future of this church as we continue to grow and serve our community as ministry opportunities and needs increase. From the beginning the church has been focused on reaching the community for Christ.
