"In 1859, The First Baptist Church was established and a building erected on the corner of Fourth and Calhoun. In 1888 a second place of worship was built on the present site of the corner of Fifth and Alachua. The present sanctuary was erected in 1925, with the first educational unit added in 1952, and the second, a three story fully air conditioned one, in 1963."

At some point, the First Baptist Church moved to larger quarters on South Eighth Street and The Promised Land Church began leasing the building from the First Baptist Church.
