CHURCH HISTORY
History
The beginnings 
Spruce Pine First Baptist Church began in 1908 when Elder L. H. Green filed a report with the Baptist Association. In 1903 Associational Missionary had recommended the Association take care of the Baptist interest in Spruce Pine, and 1904 was the year that Reverend L. H. Green continued to serve as that Missionary. He saw the need for a Missionary to remain in Spruce Pine.
In 1907 in Nat Riddle's Shoe Shop, a group of folks from the area began plans for a church.
On May 28, 1908, Property was purchased from John L. English, Mr. and Mrs. G. B. English, and Varina English on Bridge Street for $100.00 to erect the first church building.
On September 17, 1908, in the morning session at Silver Chapel Church, the Mitchell Baptist Association made the motion to accept Spruce Pine Church to be admitted to the Association. They were admitted, and L. A. Berry and J. W. Pitman were shown as delegates. Rev. Steven Greene was the first pastor from 1908 to 1909.

Missions have been a vital part of Spruce Pine First Baptist Church, and over the years we have made it an integral part of our church. Our mission work has taken us to many places around the world and in this community. The message is the same, and the mission is clear "go forth and witness to all creatures." One group or person cannot do it alone. God can use us all. He can use You. Below are some of the missions our church members have been involved in and/or supported.

Operation Christmas Child

Matthew 28:19-20

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
