��PASTOR 1 S MESSAGE
TO THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH FAMILY:
TO THE SAINTS SCATTERED ABROAD AND OVER THE LAND:
Greetings:
As we think about the 112th Anniversary of our great
church, I can but speak now as I have spoken that Christ is
alive and that we must continue to stand together for Christ and
in the name of Jesus Christ.
I first then exhort you to take a stand in these troubled
times.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath
made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of
bondage. (Galatians 5:1)
Yes, we must stand and earnestly contend for the faith
which was once delivered unto the saints. (Jude 3)
We must not
the many changes
stand ye in the
is the good way,
be swept away by every wind of doctrine nor by
of these times. Jere■ iah 6:16 tells us to
ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where
and walk therein.
We must continue to walk together in unity, love, and
peace.
Submitted in love for the advancement of the Christian
cause,
Your Humble Servant and Pastor,
Rev. Calvin Baltimore
��Rev. Calvin Baltimore
�HISTORY OF OUR PASTOR
Rev. Calvin N. Baltimore accepted Jesus Christ as his
personal Savior on the second Sunday in June 1959, and is a
member of the St. Paul Baptist Church, Happy Creek, Virginia.
He served as a faithful deacon for 14 years at St. Paul
before God called him for higher duties on April 10, 1976. Rev.
Baltimore was licensed to preach the Gospel by his home church.
After being licensed for 10 months and much prayerful
consideration, Rev. Baltimore accepted the call from Third Zion
Baptist Church, Success, Virginia as their Assistant Pastor.
During the 105th session of the Second National Ketoctan Baptist
Association, Third Zion requested the ordination of Rev. Calvin
Baltimore. On the 24th of September 1977, Rev. Baltimore became
pastor and served in this capacity for approximately five years.
Rev. Baltimore was also called to Popular Forks Baptist
Church, Warrenton, Virginia on July 15, 1979. He became supply
pastor in September, 1979 and was voted in as pastor on October
20, 1979. He served Popular Forks for approximately three
years. God blessed Rev. Baltimore in his pastoral works at both
churches.
Rev. Baltimore became pastor-elect of First Baptist on May
23, 1982. First Baptist needed the strong leader we have in
Rev. Baltimore. Since becoming our pastor we have grown to
great success. We have organized Homecoming Day, Deacon and
Deaconess Day, baptized 9 and received 7 by Christian
experience, and one minister, and numerous other accomplishments
mentioned in Concentration of Improvements.
Since Rev. Baltimore has been our pastor, much fellowship
and love have been created among the membership and the
community. Many of the former members have returned to First
Baptist and we have a Spirit-filled worship service.
�MODERATOR 1 S MESSAGE
Greetings:
As your Moderator, I take this moment in the Name of Jesus
to congratulate and cmmend you at First Baptist for standing 112
years in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I know the road and way has not been easy for you, storms
of life rage against you; but you kept the ship on course with
the help of the Lord.
Continue to be strong in the doctrines of Jesus Christ, be
strong in brotherly love for one another, keep marching to Zion,
and when your marching days are finished, you will be able to
lay down your sword and shield, say farewell to old life and
join in with heavenly angels and say, "I looked back and wonder
how I made it over."
God bless you and your pastor.
Your Humble Moderator,
Dr. J.P. Baltimore
Elected Moderator
The Rev. J.P. Baltimore,
0.0., was elected as
moderator of the 104th annual session of the Second
National Ketoctan Association held at the Mt. Morris
Baptist Church in Hume recently. The event was attended by a congregation
of about 500 people. Dr.
Baltimore heads a large
Baptist body in Virginia,
Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Maryland.
�HISTORY OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
In the year of 1871 the Baptist believers desired to
organize a meeting house of worship in the town of Harrisonburg,
Virginia . The Rev. William Hill was called for this purpose and
was the church 1 s first pastor. From his leadership and the aid
of a few Baptist people a church was organized. It was located
on West Market Street.
In 1873 a church was erected on the corner of Wolfe and
Mason Streets at a cost of $850.00. This church soon became too
small for the growing congregation.
In 1878, under the leadership of Dr. G. B. Howard, the old
church was set back fifty feet. A new church was built on Wolfe
Street in front of it at the cost of several thousand dollars.
Having no basement to the new edifice the congregation decided
to use the old church as a lecture room and social hall.
In later years a parsonage was built on the property to
house ministers and their families, also visiting ministers.
Although the church was started in 1871 there is no cornerstone
to prove it. The cornerstone on the Broad Street Church is
dated 1878-1964.
The church in eighteen and early nineteen hundred had
strict rules of discipline. Members were excluded for:
dancing, card playing, betting, fighting, bad language,
adultery, non-payment of dues, and non-attendance at church or
church meetings. Members were allowed to be restored back to
membership by asking pardon.
Church dues were twenty-five cents a Sunday and the pastor
received thirty to thirty-five dollars a month. Some of the
pastor's salary was raised through entertainments which brought
in from five to ten dollars.
In the year 1963, under the pastorate of Rev. T. C. Allen,
the Wolfe Street Church was purchased by the City of
Harrisonburg for the Urban Renewal Program.
Groundbreaking for the present church on Broad Street was
held September 17, 1963. The cornerstone was laid February 23,
1964. The first service was held in the new church July 12,
1964.
�HISTORY •••... (Continued)
During the building process services were held at the Lucy
F. Simms School and at the homes of members. Rev. Allen, as
pastor, did a remarkable job in holding the congregation
together while the church was being built. Rev. Allen was a
fine, dedicated minister. He and his wife, Evelyn, were parents
of three children. The church was dedicated September 6, 1964.
Lots of changes have been made in the church these recent
years. the basement was remodeled, amplified sound system
installed, new Allen organ and new piano purchased, new stairway
built, a bus was purchased, new outer doors put up.
The church has advanced spiritually with the reorganizing
of the Choir and Sunday School. A Youth Group has been
organized to help our young people. These church clubs have
been organized: Ladies Auxiliary, Willing Workers,
Missionaries, Men 1 s Club, and Usher Board. As an outreach
program the church is sponsoring a Day Care Center in the lower
part of the church.

The Mary Awkard Fairfax Collection
Description
An account of the resource
The Mary Awkard Fairfax Collection consists of over 500 items that were digitized to support the development and design of the 2022 exhibit, Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Mary Awkard Fairfax. The series consists of photographs and some historical documents from Mary Awkard Fairfax’s personal collection and her family’s papers (1939–2012), shared with the Celebrating Simms project by Mrs. Fairfax’s niece, Mary Ann Smith-Tucker. The Mary Awkard Fairfax Collection is a post-custodial collection, meaning that it consists entirely of digitized materials and that all original materials were returned to the custody of their original owners immediately after being digitized.
