White Plains Baptist Church

White Plains Baptist Church was organized in 1806, with all four sanctuaries located her.  The current sanctuary was constructed

in 1887.  Welcoming its first African-American member in 1812, both races worshipped together until 1869.  In the late 1820s the

church was instrumental in founding Siloam Baptist Church, formerly a branch of this church.  To date only 20 pastors have served 

here. James H. Kilpatrick, pastor 1854 to 1908, also served as moderator of the Georgia Baptist Convention for 6 years.
