It was called "Denison Baptist Church" until several years later it adopted the name "First Baptist Church". The group met at Good Templar Hall the first three months, and on June 20, 1875 moved into its first church at 631 West Main Street. The frame structure was destroyed by a wind storm in 1883.

The church had two more buildings at Woodard and Mirick before the present building was completed in 1958. Two educational buildings are a part of the church's facilities: the Laura A. McCarthy Memorial Building and the educational building.
