Congratulations to First Baptist Church of Lawrenceburg as they celebrate 31 years at their Springer Road location.

FBC Lawrenceburg was organized at the Opera House on the Public Square in 1896, and held its first baptism in Shoal Creek that May.

The church’s first sanctuary was built in 1898, at the corner of Columbia Avenue and Highway 64. That building was replaced by a larger sanctuary built at the corner of Mahr Avenue and West Gaines Street in 1927.

The current sanctuary on Springer Road was completed on this day in 1984.
