How it all started...
The First Baptist Church of Thomaston was organized on January 15, 1825, two miles northwest of Thomaston on Barnesville Road. It was established by former slaves who worshipped in established churches prior to this date. The church celebrated its bicentennial in 2025, highlighting its rich history and the contributions of its founders. The church was built in 1920-21 in the Georgian Revival style, next to its Victorian predecessor.
Expanding the vision...
As we share the love of Jesus Christ through outreach and weekly services, we pray God will redeem souls to a glorious eternal life in Heaven. After the redemption of man through Jesus's blood, it is our delight to disciple the saints. We do this by interacting with the saints and teaching them the foundations of the Word of God. Once men and woman are discipled, we must engage the call upon their lives to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and His saving grace.
Where we are headed...
The church is celebrating its 200th year of existence this year. While we are very excited about the many years God has allowed this church to exist, we are even more eager for the next 200 years! We are excited to continue to serve the community of Thomaston and beyond as we fulfill the call to make disciples of all nations and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded.
