The first mass said in the Town of Greenwich was some- time during the year 1854, in a house on the westerly side of Greenwich Avenue, near the present truck house, under the auspices of Saint John's Parish of Stamford. In 1860, a small church was built on the southerly side of William Street, between Church Street and Sherwood Place, in the Borough of Greenwich. The church edifice was improved and enlarged in 1875, and the mission was organized as a parish in 1876, with the Rev. W. H. Rogers as its first pastor. He was succeeded by Rev. D. J. Cremin, who was succeeded by the Rev. Thomas Smith.

The records of the First Baptist Church of Greenwich are very meagre and it has been very difficult to ascertain anything definite and accurate regarding its organization, except that it was organized in June, 1879. The first service was held in a house on Lake Avenue near the Glenville Road, and later in a hall over a blacksmith shop on Lewis Street. On the ninth day of January, 1904, it purchased the building it now occupies on the westerly side of Northfield Street, which was remodelled and services held in it. The Rev. G. W. Deskins is the present pastor (1909).
