First Baptist Church Hudson is a Biblically grounded, Gospel-centric church located in the foothills of western North Carolina, in the town of Hudson. We seek to carry out the mission of the church to worship God, become disciples, and love people. Hudson First is a community of ordinary people from all walks of life who have experienced the extraordinary grace and salvation of God and now walk in His love, renewal, healing, and purposes. And we believe God has called and commissioned us to proclaim and live out His Great Commission in our community and the world.
