First Baptist Church

The First Baptist Church exhibits Classical Revival architecture with a prominent steeple and columns designed by architect Clarence Baker Kearfott in 1912.

The church contributed to local religious development by founding five Baptist congregations in the region, including Lee Street Baptist Church and Norfolk Avenue Baptist Church.

The congregation maintains regular worship services, Bible studies, and community outreach programs that connect residents through religious education and social gatherings.

The church building stands on State Street, offering services throughout the week and maintaining facilities for both religious ceremonies and community activities.

Members of African descent from the original congregation established the Anglo-African Baptist Church in 1865, which later became Lee Street Baptist Church.
