First Baptist Church of Sylvester, Georgia, was established in 1891. The congregation constructed its initial building in 1900. In 1920, this structure underwent a significant remodel, resulting in the appearance it maintains today. Over the years, the church has been served by dedicated pastors, including Reverend Ernest Leo Baskin, who began his tenure in 1924. Under his leadership, the church experienced growth and became a vibrant part of the community. Today, First Baptist Church continues its mission, emphasizing worship, fellowship, discipleship, service, and evangelism.
