[edit] History

The First Baptist Church of Detroit was founded on October 20, 1827.^[2] The original church was located at Fort and Griswold Streets; the building on Woodward was constructed in 1910 as members moved out of the downtown area.^[2] However, after World War II, membership decreased, and in 1957 the congregation sold the building to the Peoples Community Church.^[2] The First Baptist congregation moved on to Southfield and constructed a new church in 1965.^[2]
