    Organized in the summer of 1889 by The Rev. J.W. Holman and thirteen charter members, the Nocona Baptist Church first met in a local schoolhouse. The Rev. S.E. West served as first pastor. A sanctuary was completed in 1897, and in 1903 the name was changed to First Baptist Church. A new sanctuary replaced the 1897 structure in 1927. Over the years this congregation has been involved in many outreach projects, including the organization of Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Nocona and the support of foreign missionary activities. (1989)
