History

First Baptist Church of Anchorage has a rich history rooted in the early days of Anchorage, Alaska.

Established in 1922, the church emerged from a small group of believers who recognized the need for a Baptist congregation in the burgeoning Alaskan frontier town.

Founded by Reverend William J. Wood, the church initially met in various private homes, reflecting the modest beginnings of many churches in the region.

Recognizing the growing community, the church secured a permanent location on East 30th Avenue in 1928 and began construction on their current building, a testament to the faith and dedication of its early members.

Throughout the Great Depression and World War II, First Baptist remained a steadfast pillar of the community, providing spiritual guidance and support during challenging times.

The church has continued to grow and evolve, adapting to the changing demographics of Anchorage while maintaining its commitment to traditional Baptist values.

It remains a significant landmark in the city's faith landscape, known for its welcoming atmosphere and active engagement with the local community.
