The First Baptist Church of Manila, also known as FBCM or FirstBap, is a church established by the pioneering of the United States missionaries in the early 1900s. The church had, at first, U.S. missionaries for its pastor, but consequently, with the independence of the Philippines on July 4, 1946, the church had its first Filipino pastor, the late Pastor Antonio Ormeo. FBCM's current Senior Pastor who took Pastor Ormeo's place is Pastor Ebenezer T. Nacita.
