The story of our church began when seven members first gathered in the W.E. Putnam home to form the First Missionary Baptist Church of Copan in 1909. In 1915, the church built their first meeting place. On April 10, 1962 a local paper read, “Copan’s Baptist Church is Destroyed By Fire.” The building did burn, but the church continued on in commitment to the Lord and to one another.

​By God’s grace, First Baptist Church of Copan has been worshiping God and serving Copan for over 100 years. We pray to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for years to come!
