Smithfield Baptist Church was organized by 12 charter members in 1895, with the Rev. G.W. Green as its first pastor. A sanctuary was built here in 1902 on town lots donated by G.W. Gunter. The church supported area missions and organized a Youth Union, Sunday School, and Woman's Missionary Union. The congregation established Shady Grove Baptist Church in 1954. It was renamed First Baptist Church of Smithfield in 1958. A new sanctuary was built in 1962, and several facilities were added over the years as the church served the area with a variety of programs.
