Oldest High Point church traces Jamestown roots to 1825
The article recalls the First Baptist Church of High Point tracing its origins to Jamestown where a 1825 organization led by Elder Ashley Swaim split from Abbott's Creek. The Jamestown group later moved to High Point in 1859, establishing North Main Street and building a lasting mission to foster nearby congregations and schools. The High Point church grew into a 1200-member, multi-building center under Dr. A. B. Conrad.
