History
It was founded in 1837 as the Enon Church.[1]
In 1879, Enon Baptist Church moved to Downtown Woodstock.[2]
In 1884, the name was changed to Woodstock Baptist Church.[3]
In 1913, the sanctuary burned and replaced with the building that currently stands in Downtown Woodstock.[4]
In 1986, Johnny M. Hunt, former Southern Baptist Convention President, became senior pastor.[5] The attendance was 1,027 members.
In 1991, First Baptist Woodstock moved to a new 2,400 seat sanctuary on Neese Road.
In 2005, First Baptist Woodstock's new 7,000 seat Worship Center opened.[6]
In 2019, Pastor Hunt announced a transition where he would step down from his role at FBCW, and Jeremy Morton would assume the Senior Pastor position. Both Johnny Hunt and Jeremy Morton lead as co-pastors during the majority of 2019. The transition was completed in December 2019.
