First Baptist Church of Boca Grande
First Baptist Church of Boca Grande, Gothic Revival church in Boca Grande, Florida.
The First Baptist Church features wooden construction with a prominent bell tower and vertical architectural elements characteristic of Carpenter Gothic design.
Established in 1909, the church began with outdoor services led by circuit riding preachers before constructing its permanent structure in 1915.
The church maintains records of early religious activities on Gasparilla Island, documenting the growth of the Baptist community since the phosphate industry era.
Located at 421 4th Street West, the church continues to hold regular services and welcomes visitors interested in its architectural and historical elements.
The bell tower contains a repurposed locomotive bell donated by the Seaboard railroad, which still rings during church gatherings.
