This fellowship began when a few Wilmington families, who were attending the First Baptist Church in Reading, MA, sensed God's leading
to begin an evangelical church in Wilmington. With the support of the Reading church, the First Baptist Church of Wilmington was founded
in 1956. Pastor Ron Grimley and his wife Lisa began their ministry with us in November of 1990. Before that he served as the Associate
