In Wakefield, at the junction of Main Street and River Street, is the Wakefield Baptist Church.
The church is located on the south side of the intersection, where Main Street (Rhode Island State Route 1A) turns southward.
The church is a white clapboard structure. The building has multiple additions arranged in a rambling fashion. There is an octagonal tower and spire near the front entrance.
There are two signs facing the road. One is further east, by a parking lot, with the following:
"Adventure in Faith
Since 1781

Sunday Worship 10 am

On the front is this sign:
"Wakefield

All Are Welcome!

Worship for All Ages
Sundays - 10:00am
783-2472
An American Baptist Church"
I found a Web Site, but that site is dated and not completed. There is a facebook page that has some photos and comments. Thus, I couldn't find out much about the congregation's history, such as the specific date the building was built. From the facebook page:
"Mission
This church lives to introduce Jesus Christ to those who do not know and love Him, to deepen the faith and commitment of those who already know and love Him, to demonstrate Christ's way of love in service to the world."
