Cowan First Baptist Church
History:
The First Baptist Church of Cowan, Tennessee, has no accurate written record of its founding, but one of the members recalls that the church started soon after a state evangelist had conducted a revival in Cowan, late in 1906. A more recent book of minutes indicates that the church started its first records on May 16, 1906.
According to a state missions report, a state missionary and church builder directed the construction of the first frame building in 1907. The Church entered the association on August 22, 1907. Late in 1926, the frame building burned, and the members built the a brick auditorium and its classroom space in 1927. The twenty year old church had 125 members at this time. In 1942, the church built a pastorium on the lot just behind the auditorium. In 1954-1955, the church built a two-story educational building which was dedicated in June, 1955. In August 1956, the church sponsored a tent revival in the Midway Community at Sewanee. Immediately following the revival, a mission was established. The church bought a lot that helped the members at Midway construct a building for their services.
