Itinerant ministers J. W. D. Creath and David Fisher

organized this church in 1853. The Rev. T. M.

Anderson became the congregation's first resident

pastor in 1867. Membership was extended to the

community's Mexican-Americans in 1914, and in 1919

the church joined the Milam Baptist Association.

Church facilities have been expanded over the years

to meet changing needs. First Baptist helped organize

the Mexican Baptist Church of Cameron in 1925 and

Battetown Baptist Church in 1945. The congregation is

active in foreign missionary work and continues to

serve the community.
