In 1866, a few consecrated Christians dared to assemble themselves together in order to worship God as their Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer. First Baptist Church, as we know it today, is a tribute and lasting memory to those who had the vision to venture out during those days of immediate “post-slavery” and the early Reconstruction Era.
A total of twelve (12) pastors and one (1) circuit rider have served our church since its inception in 1866. We have been richly blessed to have had spirit-filled, anointed, and trained ministers in the Gospel to lead, serve, and to teach the word for 158 years!
