First Baptist Church

What First Baptist Church does

First Baptist Church of Eugene (operating under the shorthand "First B") is an independent Baptist congregation headquartered at 3550 Fox Meadow Road in Eugene, Oregon. The organization's mission is summarized on its own materials as "Love God. Love People." It runs two regular Sunday worship services (9:00am and 10:30am) in a sanctuary that seats 1,250, with a consolidated single-service summer format hosted at Camp Harlow during July–August 2026. The congregation it serves is horizontally segmented by life stage — children (1st B Kids, birth through 5th grade), middle and high school students (First B Students), college students (CCF, with two residential houses: Alpha Omega for men, capacity ~30, and Trinity for women, capacity ~40), men, women, and seniors (SeniorLife) — and it operates extensive small-group ministry through Life Groups meeting in homes across Eugene, Springfield, Coburg, and Creswell. A Renewal Ministry provides support groups including DivorceCare, GriefShare, sexual addiction recovery, trauma healing, and post-abortion and memory-loss support.

The church's product surface blends physical and digital channels. Physical assets include a full-service campus with worship center, classrooms, gymnasium, meeting rooms, and reservable facilities (Conference Room for 60, Classroom for 120, Garden Room for 100, Gym for 400, Sanctuary for 1,250, plus kitchen and outdoor areas), as well as the Camp Harlow retreat facility operating for seven decades. Digital products include the FBC Eugene Sermons app (sermon/podcast library and livestream on iOS/Android), the Church Center app (event calendar, group signups, online giving), livestream worship services, and a weekly Thursday 4 PM email blast supported by active Facebook and Instagram accounts. A global missions program supports 44 missionary families across 20 countries through church planting, Bible translation (via Wycliffe and World Venture), leadership training, and evangelism.

The revenue model is donation-based: voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, accepted in-person, by mail, or via one-time and recurring online donations through the Church Center platform. Pricing for ministry programs and worship services is zero — all giving is voluntary and treated as an act of worship. The church is governed internally by an elder board and pastoral staff, has no parent company, and operates as a nonprofit religious organization. Customer concentration is diffuse across individual donors and members, with programmatic delivery diversified across roughly ten strategic community partnerships including Eugene Mission, Bushnell University, Hosea Youth Services, Agape Families, Every Child Lane County, Youth for Christ/Parent Life, Love for Lane County, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Wycliffe/World Venture, and Camp Harlow.
