Our Church Profile

FBC Blanco is a Southern Baptist church deeply involved in the Blanco community. We offer Sunday morning worship and Bible studies, Wednesday evening programs for youth and children, and host outreach events. We also provide access to Blanco’s largest and most modern playground. Blanco County’s economy is largely agricultural, and many of our members hold strong traditional family values and conservative views.

Our Beliefs

We hold firmly to the belief that the Holy Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, our unfailing authority in all matters of faith and practice, and the foundation upon which our beliefs stand, as beautifully reflected in the Baptist Faith and Message.

AFFILIATIONS

FBC Blanco operates independently and isn't controlled by any church organization, but it works together with groups like the Bluebonnet Baptist Association, the Baptist General Convention of Texas, the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, and the Southern Baptist Convention whenever it's practical.

Worship

Our single 10:45 a.m. worship service is well attended and features a mix of contemporary songs and traditional hymns, led by our talented praise team. Preaching has traditionally been a strong point for our church, with expositional preaching serving as a foundation. During the transition period and on special emphasis Sundays, topical preaching has taken a more prominent role.

HERITAGE

Our Roots

         Fourteen years after Texas became a state in 1845 and one year after Blanco County was formed in 1858, the church was founded in 1859 with five charter members and a traveling circuit preacher.

   Initially the church met in homes and in community buildings until finally in 1902 it had its first church building. One of the members at that time was Rebekah Baines, mother of Lyndon Baines Johnson. In those days the church was known as Missionary Baptist Church.
In 1951, the church moved into a new building on Hwy 281 and changed its name to First Baptist Church Blanco.

   That building still stands and is currently the Rain Bird Gallery.  The current church building at 1200 4th Street 
was built in 1975, and is strategically located across from Blanco High School and next to the Blanco High School sports fields. The church is within a mile of Blanco Middle School and Blanco Elementary School.

   Throughout its history the church has been focused on families and missions. As early as the early 1900s, the church sent Loella Bell as a missionary from the church to Mexico and supported missionaries in China and elsewhere. The church raised money for those affected by the typhoid epidemic and other disasters. The church also provided support for the Buckner Orphans Home in Dallas which has continued to prosper into the Buckner Baptist Children’s Home today.
