Like any great Midwestern origin story, ours starts with local businesspeople. The ones who founded First State Community Bank were part of the tight-knit community in Farmington, a prosperous town nestled in the plains of Southeast Missouri.
During a time of economic struggle, a forward-thinking businessman, B.H. Jennings, saw a need for locally-owned banking services in the region. Gathering investors, he formed First State Bank, now known as First State Community Bank.
Since we opened our doors back in 1954, we’ve grown a lot, but we remain true to our roots. We believe in helping our local economy grow and thrive. We believe in giving back. And we believe that when it comes to banking, people should always come first.
We're here to help you find the services that fit your unique needs.
Whether you prefer to visit a branch or bank completely online, we have you covered.
We can help with all of your banking, insurance, and wealth management needs.
Being a true community bank means that we live in, work in, and serve our communities. Investing in the community goes beyond loans and banking services—giving back is built into our ethos. It is a part of our culture and tradition to support the community, which involves actively supporting the developmental goals and civic initiatives of the communities we serve.
