Aiken Baptist Church Founded 1896 on Canal Land Grant
The town of Aiken was founded in 1835 when the South Carolina Canal and Railroad Company deeded a central block to Levels Baptist Church with a requirement to build a church and use the property for that purpose only. Members from Wise Creek helped erect a simple wooden church dedicated April 24 1896 with both black and white members and two Black deacons. In 1959 the first baptistry was installed using water from Coker Springs.
