      CHURCH HISTORY

      The First Baptist Church was organized in Versailles on the third Saturday in January 1829, with eleven persons present. Services were held in the homes until May 1832 when they met in the school house until their new “meeting house” was completed in February 1838. This Church was located at the southeast corner of Adams and First Streets; it enjoyed steady growth and in 1845 had a total membership of 183. The first Sunday School was organized in 1845. Charter members in 1829 were: Thomas and Sarah Laswell, Jesse and Sarah Miles, Emeline Miles, Ann Craig, Moses and Sarah Purcell, John and Sarah Boswell, and Nancy Wooley. Mr. Dearborn taught school in the Meeting House, a three months term, in 1843. In 1844 the Presbyterians were allowed the use of the Meeting House for their services.
