Who We Are

521 is the College and Young Adult service of First Baptist Church Starkville—a midweek gathering designed to help you reset your heart and refocus your faith in the middle of a busy week. Through passionate worship, practical teaching, and authentic community, 521 exists to equip students and young adults to live sent on their campuses, in their workplaces, and around the world. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or deepening your walk with Christ, there’s a place for you here.

We Believe in the Power of Prayer

“Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7

At First Baptist, we believe prayer is more than words—it’s a lifeline to a God who listens, cares, and responds. No matter what you’re facing, you are not alone. We count it a privilege to pray with and for you. Whether you’re walking through a difficult season or celebrating a joyful moment, our team is here to lift you up in prayer.
