A Brief History
First Baptist Church, Surgoinsville, Tennessee
First Baptist Church was an outgrowth of an 1835 revival meeting held in what was known as the "old log school house." The name given to the church was "The First Missionary Baptist Church of Surgoinsville." On October 26, 1886, the church was officially organized as "Surgoinsville Baptist Church" and services were still being held in the old log school house until the early 1900's. The sanctuary used today was originally constructed in 1927. The first addition to the church (classrooms and fellowship hall) was built in 1951. Later, in the early 1990's a new building was constructed with a larger fellowship hall, classrooms, and offices along with renovation of the stage, choir loft and baptistery. FBC Surgoinsville celebrated it centennial anniversary in the fall of 1986.
