About Us

Who we are, where we come from, and where we're headed as a church family


Our Story

First Baptist Church Chandler has been serving the Chandler community for decades, committed to sharing the love of Jesus Christ and making disciples of all nations. Our church family is built on a foundation of biblical truth, genuine community, and a heart for worship.



We believe that every person matters to God, and therefore, every person matters to us. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or looking for a church home, we welcome you to join us on this journey of faith.
