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.
