Our Story
The First Baptist Church of West Danby Est. 1810
The very first church building was a log cabin built by Moses Barker in 1809, believed to be built on the same site of this church building. In 1810 Moses Barker started the church known as the West Danby Baptist Society. In 1840 the church building in this picture was erected by the Baptist Church Society; and in the winter of 1841 Elder Gross, pastor dedicated it.
