Our History
In the Midst of the Civil War . . .
Changing With Our Community . . .
Later, when the Southern Railway came through the area in 1873, the economic center of our community shifted from Chick Springs to Taylor’s Station. In 1885, the church moved to follow the economic development of the area and became what we know today as Taylors First Baptist Church.
In 2014, Taylors FBC celebrated it’s 150th Anniversary with many events during the year that culminated in a week-long event in September. We now look forward to the next 150 years and all of the life-change they will bring!
