Welcome

I'm very pleased to welcome you to my blog on history of First Baptist Church, Washington, Georgia. I started it last year after spending much time thinking about how to do it. The sources I had to use were the minutes of my church's conferences and the minutes of the annual meetings of the Georgia Baptist Associatiion of Churches, as well as my church's website. I decided not to write about long periods of time - decades, centuries, but about years, since that fit better with the Association's minutes. I have not, and probably will not, finish this job.

1843

This is a record of activities of First Baptist Church of Washington, Georgia, during the church year shown in the title above and ending September 30 of that year.

The church was without a pastor at the end of the church year.

The Georgia Baptist Association of churches met at Union Baptist Church in Columbia County on October 6, 7, 9 following the end of the church year. This church elected as messengers to that meeting the members shown as labels below.

The church letter reported members gained by baptism: 37, gained by letter: 11, lost by dismissal: 2, lost by exclusion: 3, lost by death: 0, and total remaining: 181.
