Our History

Our church was founded in October 1872 with thirty-four founding members. J.M Rushin was the first pastor. Our church was first called Macedonia Baptist Church but the name was changed to Boston Baptist Church in 1876. Our first church building was located at the corner of Main Street and Jackson Street but was destroyed by a storm and rebuilt in 1873. In 1909, the church decided they wanted a church building more centrally located in Boston and in 1913, our current building was completed. In 1944, our church joined the Thomas County Baptist Association that we are a part of today.

In 1954, construction on the educational annex building began and was completed in 1956.

Educational Annex building was added in 1956.

Our fellowship hall building was completed in 2002. Carpenters for Christ volunteers came from South Carolina and Georgia to help build the fellowship hall. Kids and youth wrote Bible verses on the foundation before the floors were laid. At the homecoming service on October 27, 2002, the new fellowship hall was dedicated to the Lord.
