First Baptist Church in Swansea
First Baptist Church in Swansea, Baptist church in Swansea, Massachusetts, United States
The First Baptist Church building features Greek Revival architecture with a square tower, open belvedere, and lancet-point windows grouped in the gables.
Established in 1663 by John Myles, this congregation represents the oldest Baptist assembly in Massachusetts and initiated its religious services in 1915.
The congregation maintains the Ilston Book, brought from Swansea, Wales, which documents early Baptist practices and religious development in colonial Massachusetts.

The church cemetery, dating back to 1731, contains graves of early settlers and congregation members who shaped the religious landscape of colonial America.
