The members of First Bible Baptist Church began meeting August 18, 1996 in room 102 at Kansas City Baptist Temple. Rick Johnson, the missions pastor at KCBT at the time, captured a vision. That vision was Eastern Jackson County including Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, Grain Valley, Oak Grove, and Odessa. Rick Johnson looked out over Eastern Jackson County and perceived a need. That need was for strong, Bible believing and teaching churches.

FBBC met downstairs in KCBT for several months, conducting its own services, yet within the walls of another church. On February 4, 1997, First Bible Baptist Church began meeting at Vesper Hall in Blue Springs. On May 4, 1997, the Kansas City Baptist Temple officially commissioned First Bible Baptist Church.

Over the past few years, God has continued to bless First Bible Baptist Church. In 1999, FBBC purchased 25 acres of land on a prime thoroughfare in Blue Springs. The church broke ground on the land to begin construction in July of 2001 and opened it's doors in June 2002. It functions not only as a place of worship, but as a place of fellowship and encouragement where the family can be drawn together.
