Inscription
Organized in 1832 by Thomas Blewett, with Rev. A.S. Bayley serving as the first pastor (1832-1834), this church has erected two sanctuaries. The first was built here in 1838, and the second, this Gothic Revival-style structure designed by Reuben Harrison Hunt, was built in 1908. Confederate general Stephen D. Lee served this church as a deacon. In 1881, First Baptist Church of Columbus became the first Mississippi congregation to host the Southern Baptist Convention.
