First Baptist Alpharetta is a church that is biblically faithful, committed to gospel sharing, relationally driven, and highly engaged in their community. This 120-year-old church is now experiencing a season of revitalization and rapid growth. At the heart of everything is the mission: to lead people to Know Jesus, Discover Hope, Experience Family, and Live Sent in pursuit of a Jesus-centered life.

In September, the church launched its "Multiply" initiative which aims to purchase land for the Hickory Flat campus, begin a Thursday evening service at the Alpharetta campus, plant ten churches in ten years, and increase their emphasis on sharing Christ and baptizing new believers. Staff and volunteers serve shoulder to shoulder, united around a vision to see lives transformed and the gospel multiplied across North Georgia and beyond.
