Church Website

"In 1950, First Baptist Church called a young man to be their pastor, Rev. Bill McDaniel. Upon his arrival, the church saw tremendous growth. In 1951, TL Smith, Chairman of the Long Range Planning Committee, sought out in the country for a new location for First Baptist to gather.

Upon his research, he and his committee found three lots of property for $3,300.

Those lots are where the church has worshiped since their dedication service on June 26, 1953. They did not move onto the campus fully until 1954.

In January 1955, that original structure burned down. However, by the end of that same year, they had already rebuilt and worshiped again on that site."
