Our History
In 1891, a small group of believers set out to charter a missionary Baptist church in Four Oaks, North Carolina.These followers gathered in a small wooden structure built by Laura Creech and her husband Ezekiel for worship, fellowship, and service.
For 120 years, the First Baptist Church of Four Oaks has ministered to people’s spiritual and physical needs in southern Johnston County and around the world. In big ways and small, FBCFO is responding to the command of Christ to go into all the world and make disciples (Matthew 28:19). First Baptist Church Four Oaks is a local church with a global mission.
This family of faith seeks to actively fulfill the Great Commission by loving, serving, learning, and fellowshipping together through missions and ministries, in Bible study and worship, and with our youth, children, and adults. The way in which the church accomplishes the mission given to us by Jesus has changed over the years, yet the same Christ-centered ministry is at the heart of all that we do.
