Meet First Baptist Church of Hurricane


Meet-FBCOH.jpgThe Mission of First Baptist Church of Hurricane (FBCOH) is to bring people to Jesus Christ, develop them to Christ-like maturity, and equip them for ministry and their life mission to the glory of God. It is our desire to LOVE CHRIST through our worship, LEARN CHRIST through His Word, and LIVE CHRIST through our service in spreading His love through the gospel. 

Located on Main Street in a thriving city (between Charleston and Huntington, WV, right off Interstate-64), we are experiencing exciting growth within our church family and community. The continued expansion of industries, schools, and neighborhoods in and around Putnam County has generated a sense of excitement and possibility! It has also presented us with opportunities to share Jesus with the many new faces God is bringing to our faith family. This is an exciting season for our church and community!


Main Street        


Main-Street-1.jpgMany things are attracting people to our area. Putnam County schools are always among the top performers in the state and nation. With award-winning arts and sports programs, our area schools are a strong draw. There is also a vibrant and welcoming home-schooling community, multiple Christian schools and preschools, that support member families and offers quality experiences. 

Hurricane has recreation opportunities for every age and level of fitness … all within about 3 miles from FBCOH.  

Valley Park & Waves of Fun is Hurricane’s largest park and outdoor waterpark. Valley Park features walking trails, multipurpose athletic fields and courts, shelters, a dog park, two ponds, and the Waves of Fun Waterpark. It also has a community center with educational opportunities for children and farmer markets for the community. 
Valley-Park.jpgHurricane City Park features picnic areas, playgrounds, athletic fields and areas for baseball, basketball, softball, walking and jogging. The Hurricane Sprayground, is also located in City Park. The Hurricane Reservoir is located directly beside the park where fishing is available from the handicapped-accessible fishing pier. The walking/jogging trail runs along the perimeter of the park and offers scenic views of the City’s Reservoir and loops through the different playground areas. City Park features advanced playground equipment for kids of all ages.

The mostly newly developed recreation area and neighbor to FBCOH is Hurricane Bridge Park!  The 43-acre park features football and baseball fields, playgrounds, pickleball courts, disc golf, and fitness opportunities.


Meeks Mountain Trails


Meeks Mountain is a 30+ mile trail system project that began in 2018 with a mission to build and sustain a network of trails for the health and well-being of the people and create additional opportunities for economic growth. To date, a team of over 450 volunteers has logged nearly 21,000+ hours clearing trails for hikers, bikers, runners, walkers, and trail enthusiasts. Individuals of all ages have dedicated time, money, and physical labor to make this community trail accessible for everyone. Outdoor enthusiasts are using these trails to hike, run, and mountain bike with friends and families and they're traveling in from all over our region to experience this growing network of trails.
Meek-Trails.jpgAlthough Putnam County is innovative and advancing, we are also a community with wholesome values. We have a city government whose leadership is committed to the safety and quality of life for every citizen. In just the last several years we have been blessed with two multi-million-dollar parks (Valley Park and Hurricane Bridge Park) complete with state-of-the-art athletic facilities, pickleball courts, disc golf, and other outdoor recreation. This is a great place to live, worship, and play!
