First Baptist Church
Organized on Easter Sunday in 1871 by Rev. A.D. Brooks and Col. Lewis
Ball, who came to Greenville as missionaries. The congregation initially
consisted of eleven members, with Brooks, a native of Missouri, serving as the
first pastor. IN 1886, a wood-framed church was built at 109-111 North
Poplar. The congregation relocated here in 1905 and erected a brick
building. A new sanctuary was built in 1954. In 1934, a Mission was
established here for the Chinese community. ~ text of marker
