First Baptist Church Founding and Early Pastors
The First Baptist church organized January 18 1861 with twenty members. Baptism by immersion occurred the next day. Rev E G Ebfernart, missionary of the Home Missionary Society, served as first pastor for about one to two years. Between times deacons led worship due to debt limits on salaries. Rev F D Rickerson became pastor April 1 1861 for three years, reducing a 1200 debt, then Rev W P Pattison took over July 1964, followed by a new pastor May 1 1868.
