First Baptist Church of Sebewa was organized on April 3, 1858 with 18 members. The meetings were held in a log schoolhouse located 1 mile east of our present church building.

A house of worship was completed in 1871 and dedicated on January 10, 1872. The cost was $1,415.00. In 1890 the horse and surrey sheds were built along the west and north sides of the church. A bell was purchased in 1893.

Baptismal services were held on Jun 7, 1913, at Sebewa Creek with 11 candidates being baptized. In January 1914, the water heated at the two fat, pot-bellied stoves was used to fill the baptistry via the bucket brigade. Some years later, a small furnace room was dug under the church and a furnace was installed.

In 1941, the surrey and horse sheds were torn down to make way for the automobile parking lot. In 1948, a basement was dug under the entire building.

Concerning the new basement and Sunday School rooms: “The remodeling was a community project, at a cost of $5700. The ceilings lowered, Sunday School rooms constructed, and new pews replaced the hand-hewn homemade ones.”

In 1965, a new parsonage was built on the corner of State Road (M-66) and Bippley Road.

In 1973 an addition was built on the west part of the church for an Awana room and fellowship hall. In Mid-1975 an additional building that has an auditorium, offices, and bathrooms was built at the cost of $68,000. A new kitchen was added in 1980. Many members pitched in to help.
