First Baptist Church (Conyers, Georgia)
- First Baptist Church (Conyers, Georgia)
The First Baptist Church of Conyers is a large Southern Baptist church located north of Conyers, Georgia. It was located in downtown Conyers along Main Street with both First Methodist Church and First Presbyterian Church, and played a key role in getting the brothels out of the city in 1878. The church remained in downtown Conyers until it moved out in late 2000, locating 2 miles (3.2 km) south of the Georgia International Horse Park to its current location.
The church's current senior pastor is Dr. Jeffery H. Meyers. Per a Sunday night service on November 12, 2006, the average attendance during Sunday school is 905 people while its average Sunday morning worship service is 1042 people, both are increases of five percent from the 2005-06 church year.
Dr. Meyers was approved in a combined service on November 11, 2007. He started on January 1, 2008 with his first service being on January 6th.
Since its 2001 opening, the church also plays host to the two local high school's graduation ceremonies.
