    I love this church. The security guards could be nicer but I still love this church. Pastor Norman is a great pastor and the congregation is very nice and helpful as well. I love how the church is involved in the neighborhood and they have lots of conferences and retreats. FBCB is a wonderful place to worship. My children love the children's church as well.

    Had the privilege of attending a community event 4/7/23. The people were warm and very inviting , most notably the Pastor. He definitely carries the "Born to lead" vibe sprinkled with love. Definitely reminds me of my Daddy 🥰. I'm not a religious person, BUT ... would definitely consider this house of worship!! These are some good quality people!!!!

    I joined this Church a couple of Sunday's ago now. But I had been visiting before I choose to become a member. Love how people reach out to give you an appreciation of kindness and warmth...The Spirit of God is in This House of Worship. And the Minister is right on top of it giving a message to broaden your faith in God...Just come and be blessed by the Anointing, Amen. 🙏🙏🙏

    Great church! Everytime I visit with my sister Ciji, I feel so welcomed to the church. The pastor sure does teach and is such a down to earth person. And my child and I absolutely LOVE Tuesday night bible study and what the church is doing for/in the city! Other churches/pastors should take note.

  • Evelyn Edwards8 years ago

    I have been overwhelmed with the outpour of genuine love, it's Divine I tell you straight from God that flows to Pastor and his wife and all members of First Baptist Church Broad. We went to visit for the first time and ended up joining. The Holiness of Jesus was so strong in the place. If you visit be prepared to stay. I was at a church for so many years under a Pastor Senior then a Pastor Jr. the church was sold and I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer and sometimes traveling/driving becomes and issue. Yes the church bus could pick me and my family up because my husband drives for Greyhound Bus Line and is mostly gone. I want to be as independent as possible with this disease, if you stop doing things like driving it cripples your thoughts and you. Saints of God are very active. God, Jesus and Holy Spirit thank your all for my loving Christian Family wherever you need me to serve. I am thankful for Pastor, First Lady and their children and the entire First Baptist Church Broad Family. And as a Child of the Most High God I wish what God wish for us that we should prosper and be in good health. Amen.

    First Baptist is a very loving church. FBC is a pillar in the community. This church, under the leadership of Pastor Norman, is known for giving to the community. You can attend FBC, leave your problems at the alter, and KNOW GOD had them already worked out. GOD bless‼️

    This church is truly amazing. If you want a church home that is lead by a pastor who keeps it REAL, cares about the community and encourages his flock to do so; but actually WALKS THE WALK and TALKS THE TALK this is the place for you. There are no supercilious attitudes, flaunting, or two-facedness AT THE HEART of this church. Ppl will still be ppl, but this is truly a hospital for healing.

  • Jametria Crawford5 years ago

    My friend received information about a Christmas giveaway. I told her not to believe somethings that are sent to you because they can be misleading or for someone else. So we called the number and was greeted with a very rude person with a nasty attitude. That’s why I don’t go to churches now. I quickly apologized for calling and hung when I shouldn’t have gave her that!

  • Cordia “Eyes” Hunter6 years ago

    I love First Baptist Church Board because of the teaching. Pastor Norman brings the word like no one else. He ends service with join Hans with the person next to you and introduc yourself don't be holding hands with a stranger. The staff really make you feel like family.

    This is my place of worship. Every time I enter into the sanctuary I expect to receive. A Spirit of expectancy. I am blessed by the preached Word from Rev. Dr. Keith Norman. Good singing. Fellowship. This is my family. Praise God for this place. On the Broad Ave.

    This is my Church home. I love my church, Pastor, Pastir Keith Norman, my Sunday School Class, The Life Application Class taught by Peo Gray with Eula Smith, Supt., my Church family and I love when I'm sick and can't be there, I stream Morning Service Live on You tube. I saw Tuesday nights Bible Study on You Tube.

    I have been a visitor at First Baptist broad for the last three Sundays in a row. I am looking for a church home and so far it has everything that I'm looking for in a church. I always enjoy the message, the choir and the overall atmosphere.
