Maps and Directions
First Baptist Church is located on the East side of N. Main Street on the block between Cypress Street and Elm Street, just one block north of downtown Altus. If you are coming from the South part of Altus, you will go North on Main Street, and the church will be located two blocks past the courthouse on the right side of the street. If you are coming from the north part of Altus, you will drive South on Main Street, passing Tamarack Road and Falcon Road. The church is located on the left side of the street one block past Sutherland Street. The parking lots are located on the North and East sides of the church, and the main building has one entrance on the North side and two main entrances accessible from the East parking lot.
Finding the Sanctuary
The easiest way to locate the sanctuary is to enter the building through the sliding glass doors from the East parking lot. Then proceed to the end of the hall, turning left near the Sunday School booth. Continue down that hall passing the office on your left, and you will see the sanctuary entrance at the top of the stairs.
Finding a Sunday School Class
To find the appropriate Sunday School class for you and/or your children, you will need to stop by the Resource Area, which is located in the corner of the hallway that leads into the sanctuary. A volunteer at the booth will help you figure out the best class for your age and will guide you to the right location.
Finding the Hispanic Mission
The Hispanic Mission meets in the Activity Building, which is in the East parking lot.
How Do I Join?
If you would like to become a member of First Baptist Church, we require that you have trusted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord, and that you are baptized after making that decision. After meeting those requirements, you can go to the altar during the invitation of any service and fill out an Application for Membership. You can join by baptism, by letter from another church, or by statement of your faith.
