Dunbar First Baptist Church is an American Baptist Church in Dunbar, West Virginia. Sunday School 9:30AM/ AM service 10:30 & PM 6:30 mid week service 6:30

On June 9, 1916, in the Chapel Car "Herald of Hope," located on a side track at the Gravely Plow Factory, Dunbar, West Virginia, the following people organized the Baptist Church: Rev. & Mrs. Newton of the Chapel Car, "Herald of Hope," Rev. T.C. Johnson, A.S. Kelley, W.H. Bayless, and W.C. Herold, along with the following local citizens: Mr. & Mrs. Samuel Barr, Miss Inez Barr, Mrs. Nancy Reed, J.P. McCallister, Mr. & Mrs. O.N. Keeling, Mrs. C.L. Perkins, and H.H. Parsons. After the Chapel Car moved from Dunbar, services were conducted in what is became Mound School and in the Morton Building, which eventually became the annex at the First Ward School. During this period, Rev. Irvin Hall was pastor. The record of the church from the date of its organization until April 1919 is incomplete. On April 10, 1919, eight new members were received into the church. At this time, Rev. J.D. Vannoy was called as pastor. Services were then conducted in a bowling alley located on Eleventh Street. The place of worship was moved later from the bowling alley to a store room on Twelfth Street. The church building located at Payne Avenue and Thirteenth Street was planned and opened for services in the spring of 1920. Rev. I.T. Marks was the first pastor in the new church building. The first baptismal service was conducted February 13, 1921, and five candidates were baptized. During the next two and half decades, the church outgrew its building on Payne Avenue, and Rev. J.C. Musser and the members of the Board of Trustees began to formulate plans to build a new and larger building in the late 1940s. Property was purchased on Sixteenth Street for a new church and in time, Architect Herbert Kyle was engaged to design the new facility. On October 5, 1952, the first service was held in the newly completed church. Total cost for this building was $160 thousand. Dedication ceremonies were conducted on November 1, 1952. In November 1957, the note on the church was burned. As the church continued to grow, salaried personnel were engaged. Andrew Hobbs joined the staff as Director of Christian Education and Music in September 1953, a position held until November 1961. The church also engaged a part-time secretary on April 3, 1957. In January 1958, Rev. Musser resigned as pastor of the church but remained as interim pastor until the vacancy could be filled. At the close of 1958, the membership of the church had grown to approximately 737. On October 1, 1958, Rev. George R. Pauley accepted pastorship and was formally installed at a special service held on December 3, 1958. As the church continued to grow, available neighboring properties were purchased from time to time for church offices, classrooms, or conversion into necessary parking facilities. On June 17, 1973, groundbreaking ceremonies were held on the adjoining property for a multi-purpose unit, and on June 8, 1975, dedication services were held for the new facility. This building addition housed additional classroom space, a full commerical kitchen, and a gymnasium. After twenty-six years of service, Rev. Pauley terminated his post as paster on March 3, 1984. Rev. D.D. Elwell joined the staff as pastor on June 10, 1984 and resigned on November 30, 1985. Dr. Milan H. Johnson accepted the call to the Pastorate on July 1, 1986. Dr. Johnson submitted his resignation in 1993. Following this, the church began an extensive search for its next pastor. In the interim, Rev. D.D. Elwell and Major Richard Jones, of the Salvation Army, served as interim pastors. In December 1995, Rev. Thomas E. Stevens, Jr. accepted the call to become pastor of First Baptist Church of Dunbar. During Rev. Stevens tenure, an addition to the building was added creating new office space, a parlor, and and new entryway. Rev. Stevens accepted another call to the pastorate in May of 2010. After ten months of service as interim pastor, Rev. Philip C. Shields accepted the call to become the pastor of the the church. He served until August of 2013. The church is currently searching for its next pastor. During the interim, Rev. Chester Bird is serving as pastor.
