First Baptist Church

First Baptist Church, Baptist church building in Petersburg, Virginia

First Baptist Church is a Protestant church building featuring Greek Revival architecture with tall columns and a distinctive steeple along Harrison Avenue. The structure displays classical proportions and traditional interior elements typical of its architectural period.

The congregation traces its origins to the late 1700s when scattered members came together to form a community. It grew to become a significant religious center in the area.

The church has long served as a gathering place where the community found togetherness and mutual support. Visitors can still sense today how this space remained a source of strength for many.

The building sits on a main avenue downtown and is straightforward to locate, with parking available nearby. Plan ahead to check service times, as worship gatherings happen on a regular schedule.
