In 1903, members from First Baptist Church of Covington decided to organize a new church in Covington’s mill village as part of their mission efforts in the community. They succeeded Jan. 27, 1904. The church has gone through a few name changes — it naturally started off as Second Baptist Church — but it’s still around in the former mill village and is celebrating its 110th anniversary Sunday.
