First Baptist Church of Wetumpka, Gothic Revival Baptist church in Wetumpka, Alabama.

First Baptist Church of Wetumpka is a Gothic Revival church building in Alabama that sits at the heart of a compound with several connected structures. The main brick sanctuary was constructed between 1846 and 1852 and anchors the complex at its location on West Bridge Street.

The congregation originated from Coosa River Baptist Church in 1821 and relocated to Wetumpka in 1837, merging with another group to form the present-day church. This merger established the foundation for what continues today as the town's longstanding Baptist community.

The congregation began as the Coosa River Baptist Church in May 1821, moved to Wetumpka in 1837 and took its present name in 1842. When funds for the brick sanctuary ran short, the women of the congregation raised the money through bake sales, picnics, barbecues and quilt sales. The building was dedicated on July 11, 1852.

The complex stands at 205 West Bridge Street, west of the Coosa River, with its buildings joined by corridors at the rear. The original 1852 sanctuary was slated for demolition after the 2020 vote, so check locally before planning a visit to that structure. The 1967 sanctuary, seating 687, remains the congregation's active worship space.

The 2019 EF2 tornado removed the entire roof and belfry of the 1852 sanctuary. In 2020 a majority of the congregation voted to demolish it, citing a weakened support structure and mold; the stained glass windows and other artifacts were taken out in late May 2020 before demolition.
