Founded on the Word • Centered on Christ
Our History
Fourth Baptist Church began as a mission Sunday School of First Baptist Minneapolis. The congregation grew from meeting in homes to building our first sanctuary in 1885. Under the leadership of Dr. Richard V. Clearwaters (1940-1982), we established our Christian School, Seminary, and Radio station. In 1998, under Dr. Douglas McLachlan, the congregation voted to relocate from Minneapolis to our current home in Plymouth. Today, led by Pastor Matt Morrell, we continue our legacy of strong Bible teaching.
