Local residents formed a Baptist congregation in A.F. Schnaubert's home in 1914, with early members including Schnaubert, Taylor, Pool, Felps, Miller, Hickox, and Blanton. Later that year, the community built a church for local denominations, and it was also used as a school. The Rev. J.W. Staten served as the Baptist congregation's part-time preacher for several years. First Baptist Church called its first full-time pastor, the Rev. Carson Taylor, in 1927. Three years later, the congregation bought its own building, a former hardware store, and later moved it to this site. In the early 1950s, members built a new sanctuary here. Since its organization, the congregation has served its community and its faith through many programs and missions.
