First Baptist Church

Organized by visiting minister W.G. Green and a congregation of three on June 19, 1887, the Baptist church in Bronte first met in homes. In 1890 a brush arbor was built and the Rev. R.M. Cumbie became the first pastor. Services were later held in the community school in winter and the brush arbor in summer. A Sunday school was organized in 1901, the first church building was dedicated in 1907, and a new building was completed in 1951. From its beginning, the church has been involved in missionary and community activities.
