2014-10-11 - The landmark building was completed in 1957; the church was renamed First Baptist Church - United Church of Christ in 1973 upon merger with a small UCC congregation that had been using the FBC chapel; this was simplified to First United Church in 2003; it is both American Baptist Churches and the United Church of Christ. -Database Manager
