THE Historic First African Baptist Church is etched in history as the Oldest Continuously Serving Church in North America. Pastor Rev. Thurmond N.

Jul 20, 2026 · Google ReviewIf you ever visit Savannah, stop bt the "underground" First African Baptist Church to see how the slaves built this Church & has been preserved to this very day! The original pews & stained glass is a sight to see. They have original etchings & heartwarming 💕 to know they had a spirit within that could never be broken by a whip! You feel their spirits of pride & endurance. Please, please visit this tour for only $18
