About First Baptist Church of Manning

First Baptist Church of Manning is a Christ-centered, Bible-believing, SBC congregation located in Manning, South Carolina. We are a multi-generational church committed to loving God and loving others. We are an active church family with a heart for God’s Word, worship, and missions. From children's and youth ministries to adult Bible studies and senior adult fellowship, there are opportunities for every generation to grow in faith and service.

We offer two worship services each Sunday morning. These services include traditional worship, prayer, Scripture readings, and expository preaching. Our combined worship attendance average is 250.

We are now seeking a dedicated, Christ-honoring individual to join our ministry team as Associate Pastor/Pastor of Youth. This position offers the opportunity to work alongside our leadership, minister to our students, and help us continue to reach our community with the gospel.

If you are passionate about relational ministry and preaching the Word, we invite you to consider being part of what God is doing here at First Baptist Manning.
