Welcome Pastors Jack and Debbie White
First Baptist Church of Vandergrift
We are a supernatural church, comprised of supernatural people doing supernatural things, for we are laborers together with God!
Our Church
The First Baptist Church of Vandergrift has a rich heritage of serving God and its community for well over the past 120 years. The First Baptist congregation was established in January of 1900, and in 1905 opened the doors to the church building erected on the corner of Franklin and East Adams Avenues in Vandergrift that we currently occupy to this day.
The First Baptist Church of Vandergrift is a member of the Pittsburgh Baptist Association which is part of the American Baptist Churches of Pennsylvania and Delaware (ABCOPAD).
Our fellowship was recently pastored for eleven years by Reverend Michael Mrasz and his wife Debbie. The grace of God carried us through the unexpected passing of our beloved Pastor Mike in September of 2020 and since then, the power of the Holy Spirit has guided our congregation through a most challenging transition and into a deeper commitment and personal relationship with Almighty God to go forth and make disciples of all nations.
As of February of 2024, under the newly installed leadership of Pastors Jack and Debbie White, we have emerged more determined and empowered than ever before to move forward in unity and strength. We as a Church Body stand strong to overcome the darkness of this present age, causing the truth of God’s Word to brightly shine from within our walls and out into the community that we serve.
We are a supernatural church, composed of supernatural people doing supernatural things, for we are laborers together with God.
