A Brief History of Century First Baptist Church
Century First Baptist Church was established in 1904 with 25 charter members. The land for the building was donated by the Alger Sullivan Lumber Company and much of the materials used in the construction were donated or discounted to the young church by the Lumber Company.
In the beginning, services were held on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. In 1947, the church began meeting every Sunday under the leadership of B.A. Hawkins.
The church continues to worship in the original building. Many renovations and improvements have been made in recent years. The most recent improvement has been the replacement of the fence around the back of the property.
Since 1904, the church has been led by 33 pastors and several interim pastors.
