Pennepek Baptist Church, Protestant church building in Lower Dublin, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Pennepek Baptist Church stands near Pennypack Creek with its current structure dating from 1805, featuring traditional architectural elements from the early 19th century.
Founded in 1688 by Elias Keach, this congregation established the first Baptist church in Pennsylvania and became a central point for Baptist expansion throughout the region.
The church maintains weekly gatherings that connect modern congregants to traditions spanning over three centuries of continuous religious practice in Philadelphia.
The church building includes a cemetery where visitors can find gravestones of early congregation members, providing insights into colonial American history.
Minister Ebenezer Kinnersley, who served during the 1700s, combined his religious duties with scientific research, contributing to the understanding of electricity.
