What is First Missionary Baptist Church of Redlands?
Updated
First Missionary Baptist Church of Redlands is a Baptist congregation in Redlands, California, and fmbcredlands.org is its official website. The site serves as a public welcome page: it introduces the church, invites visitors to attend, and lists the weekly service schedule, including a children's ministry and a midweek evening gathering.
What the website is for
The site is informational rather than transactional. It does not sell anything, take registrations, or require an account. Its stated purpose is summed up in its own welcome line: "Welcome! We would love to see you at church!" In practice, that means the page exists to answer the two questions a first-time visitor usually has — what is this church and when does it meet — and to lower the barrier to showing up in person.
Service schedule
The published schedule is the core content of the site:
| Gathering | Day | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday School | Sunday | 9:45 AM | Before the main service |
| Sunday Worship Service | Sunday | 10:45 AM | Main weekly service |
| First Kids Chapel | Sunday | After worship time | Ages 2–12 |
| Wednesday Evening | Wednesday | 7 PM | All ages |
Two things are worth noting for a first visit. First, Sunday School and the worship service run back to back, so you can attend both without leaving. Second, First Kids Chapel is described as happening after the worship time rather than at a fixed clock time — if you are bringing children, plan to stay through the main service and expect the children's session to follow it.
Children and midweek programming
The site names two offerings beyond the main Sunday service:
- First Kids Chapel — a Sunday session for children ages 2 through 12, held after the worship time. This is the church's stated provision for families who want their children in an age-appropriate setting.
- Wednesday Evenings at 7 PM — described as open to all ages, so it is not limited to adults or to a specific group.
Beyond these, the site does not publish details such as the format of the Wednesday gathering, childcare arrangements, or what a Sunday School class covers. If those specifics matter to your decision, they are questions to ask the church directly rather than things the website answers.
How to use the site
The page is short and single-purpose, so there is no navigation puzzle to solve. Read the welcome text, check the schedule against your own week, and use the times above to decide which service fits. If you are visiting for the first time, the 10:45 AM Sunday worship service is the natural entry point, with Sunday School at 9:45 AM as an option if you want to arrive earlier.
What the site does not tell you
The published material covers identity and schedule only. It does not include a statement of beliefs, staff or pastor information, directions or parking guidance, contact details, or any explanation of what to expect during a service. For a visitor trying to decide whether this congregation is a fit, those gaps are the practical next step: attend a Sunday service, or reach out to the church through channels outside this page.
