In the 1920's the residents of Moffat bought the church from the Baptist Association to keep it from being moved due to the declining congregation. In the 1930's the congregation was reorganized to nondenominational Moffat Community Church. To mark the change a woman chiseled out the word Baptist on the cornerstone and entryway.
the First Baptist Church of Moffat was a two-story building featuring an eclectic mix of Romanesque Revival, Classical Revival, and Victorian elements. It had one large corner steeple and two smaller secondary steeples. The designer is unknown, but the building’s style and proportions indicate that the plans must have been taken from a pattern book or laid out by a person with some architectural training."
