FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
HISTORY
First Baptist Church
started with services under an arbor bush.
In 1897 a building was erected on land donated by Ned
Spaulding. The
church started out as wood and currently is brick. The first pastor was
Reverend Stembridge Wilson of Red Oak, VA. Six pastors and
twenty-two
deacons lead the congregation in the 115 year history. A
fellowship hall
was built in 2000.
