First Baptist Church History
In 1893, the First Baptist Church was established in Englewood, New Jersey. Names such as Harris, Zimmerman, and Butts seemed to belong to the true organizers and founders. The record shows a struggling history, a handful of people carrying on in the early days of incorporation. By 1903, there is a marked improvement shown in the work of the group, they moved from a tent to a house and later erected a church building at 61 William Street.
