First African Baptist Church
Visit WebsiteAbout
The First African Baptist Church was founded in 1841, after white members of First Baptist Church sold the building to its 1,708 African American members, both free and enslaved for $6,500. The church became a center for Christian worship and an anchor for African American community development at a time when gatherings outside of church were prohibited.
