FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
The first Baptist Church in
Church in America was
founded by Roger Williams in 1638.
The present
edifice was erected in 1775 and is the oldest
Baptist Church in America. Roger Williams was
the first Pastor. Brown University, the leading
Institution of Rhode Island, was largely founded
by this Church.
This denomination made a fundamental con-
tribution to our early religious and civil history,
being the first to seperate the interest of church
and state.
