First Baptist Church of Greater Cleveland, Baptist church in Shaker Heights, US.
The Gothic-style church features a 130-foot limestone bell tower named Swasey Tower and French-inspired stained glass windows throughout the structure.
Founded in 1833 as Cleveland's first Baptist congregation, the church moved to its current location in 1929 after merging with Cleveland Heights Baptist Church.
The sanctuary serves as a performance space for local arts organizations, including Apollo's Fire and Cleveland Opera, due to its acoustic properties.
The congregation holds unified worship services every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM, with both in-person and online participation options.
The Van Sweringen brothers sold the land for the church at a reduced price of $75,000, requiring approval rights for exterior features to maintain community standards.
