About First Baptist Church of Calvert
Baptists worshipped in the area as early as 1835, and after Calvert was founded in 1868, a railroad donated land for a church, with a brick building completed in 1873. The congregation hosted the Baptist State Convention and State Sunday School Convention in the 1870s. It later sent missionaries to Brazil and merged with Elmo Baptist Church in 1969.
