Sanctuary History

1907 - 1950 Click for a larger image In 1905, First Baptist Church began a mission at 1223 Tate Street, known as the "Baptist Chapel". Sunday, July 4, 1907, about 65 charter members organized the Baptist Chapel into Tate Street Baptist Church, with A.P. Moore as the first pastor.

1950 -1992 Click for a larger image The frame parsonage was moved, bricked, and remodeled, and a new brick sanctuary was erected. The original white wooden church building was used for educational space. On a chilly morning early on 1956, a fire ignited from the church's pot-bellied stove and swept through the old plank building, destroying the old plank building, and many of the church records.

1992 - Present Click for a larger image In 1991, Tate Street Baptist Church broke ground for the new building that now houses, Tate Baptist Church. On August 30 1992, the first Sunday at the new location, 667 attended the morning worship.
