Strategy One: Newtown
Create a Culture of Belonging
Strategy Two: Lower Bucks County
Multiply impact in our region through Church Partnerships
Strategy Three: Nearby Urban Areas
Engage our people in Urban Ministry
Strategy Four: Uttermost
Mobilize our people for Global Relationships
about us
First Baptist Church of Newtown was originally founded in 1901. Our first building was constructed in 1905 on State Street in Newtown Borough. As the congregation grew through the years, it was necessary to expand the facility three more times. In the early 1990s we recognized that our current location in Newtown Borough was not adequate for our long-term mission. In 1992, we began planning to relocate to a 23-acre parcel at the intersection of Washington Crossing and Stoopville Roads. Construction of our new campus began in early 2003, and we moved into our new location ("Grace Point") in July of 2004. Our name then became First Baptist Church of Newtown at Grace Point. Since then, we've become known as Grace Point.
We're a member of Converge Worldwide and Converge MidAtlantic.
Converge is a network of Christ-centered churches that believe we're better together.
