First Baptist Church is made up of people "following Jesus on a journey of faith and service." We have strong beliefs concerning the Church, the Bible, and the ways in which we should work together to serve God's Kingdom. Our church began well over a hundred years ago, and has steadfastly maintained a Baptist witness in the Independence, MO area. We have a strong Senior Adult program, and are blessed to have a number of third and fourth-generation First Baptist members. We are committed to staying in the urban setting with all the challenges that brings, and are making great efforts to reach those in our immediate neighborhood. We are linked with two major organizations for the purposes of Missions involvement, and large-group participation. The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship ( CBF ) is a nationwide group of Baptist who support missionaries and organize missions ventures and projects, and helps us to connect to other service organizations. The Baptist General Convention of Missouri ( BGCM ) is a group of Baptists in Missouri who provide us additional opportunities for service, as well as educational opportunities. We also work with other groups on a short term basis, such as Habitat for Humanity and Hillcrest Transitional Ministries, so that we might be engaged in service projects in our area.

First Lutheran came to life in 1870 when about two dozen Swedish Lutherans met on a Sunday afternoon in Kansas City to establish the First Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Congregation. Since then, the congregation has worshiped in four different sanctuaries, had two dozen pastors, assistant pastors and vice pastors and uncountable members and visitors, all from different backgrounds. Our current location in Mission Hills has been our home since 1957. First Lutheran Church is one of the 11, 000 congregations in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ( ELCA ). Our congregation is part of the Central States Synod, which consists of approximately 220 congregations across Kansas and Missouri. We rejoice that our paths have crossed in our journeys of faith. We welcome you to our community of faith and invite you to join with us in whatever way you feel drawn. In all we do, we seek to celebrate and share the love and grace which God showers upon us in Jesus Christ. Please know that in the various ministries and activities described in this document, you would be a most welcomed partner.
