The First Baptist Church was born on Sunday, January 30, 1898 with eleven members. On February 26, 1898, they elected their first Pastor, Rev. C.C.Haymore. Meetings were held in member's homes for the first year or two. On December 15, 1898, the first parcel of ground was acquired (where the King Outreach Ministry Thrift Shop is housed presently). The church's first building housed the fellowship's first assembling on March 25, 1900.

Even as early as 1900, the church records reflect the support of missions, both at home and abroad. The organized Sunday School was established that same year. The church grew as the town of King continued to grow. In 1941 the church called their first full-time pastor.
