The First Baptist Church is a historic church at 727 Scotland Road in Williamsburg, Virginia. It is a brick Colonial Revival structure, built in 1956 to a design by Norfolk architect Bernard Spigel. It is of only two known church designs by Spigel.

History

The congregation was founded in the 1770s as a non-denominational group of free and enslaved African-Americans, and became officially Baptist in 1781. Located for many years in a church on Nassau Street, it was relocated by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation to its present location at the foundation's expense.[1]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[2]

John M. Dawson was a pastor for over forty-five years and was also a Virginia state senator between 1874 and 1877 during the Reconstruction Era.[3]
