First Baptist Church Woodway

What First Baptist Church Woodway does

First Baptist Church Woodway (DBA "First Woodway") is a nonprofit Baptist congregation headquartered at 101 Ritchie Road, Woodway, Texas, operating two Sunday worship services at 9:30 am and 11:00 am and serving a multi-generational congregation from birth through senior adulthood. The church runs a broad ministry portfolio organized around demographic cohorts — Kids (Birth-5th), Youth (6th-12th), College, Senior Adults, Life Groups, Discipleship, Prayer, Music and Worship, Missions, and Care/Support — supplemented by specialized community programs including Mother's Day Out childcare, Food Ministry, and Special Needs ministry. Two physical facility extensions, The MAC (recreation/fitness center) and The Fields (outdoor sports complex), sit alongside the main campus and extend the church's service surface into recreation.

The church's technology footprint is conventional for the sector: a Church Community Builder (CCB) database manages membership, communications, and engagement data, while a custom mobile app (built on Subsplash) and live-streamed services provide digital access to sermons, giving, and on-demand content for members who cannot attend in person. Distribution is concentrated at the single Woodway campus with a regional digital radius, and the church maintains formal strategic affiliations with Woodway Christian School and Viento Fuerte (a Hispanic ministry partner).

Revenue is generated exclusively through voluntary tithes, offerings, and designated contributions from congregation members; the church does not publish pricing, and financial statements are not publicly disclosed. Leadership is anchored by a new Lead Pastor, Dr. Wade Owens, supported by approximately 45 staff, with a governance structure typical of an independent Baptist church (board of deacons/elders, no parent organization).

• Highland Park Presbyterian Church: Mid-sized Texas Protestant church with comparable age-stratified programming, recreation, and community outreach. Same regional Texas market and similar member demographics.

Overlaps with First Woodway in worship model and digital delivery but operates at significantly larger scale across multiple campuses.

• Woodway Christian School: Affiliated partner organization rather than a competitor — operates the Christian K–12 educational arm that complements First Woodway's family ministry strategy. Relevant as a programmatic adjacency and shared-mission peer.
