The story

This church was organized by 12 charter members in 1895; the Rev. G.W. Green served as first Pastor.

A sanctuary was built here in 1902 on town lots donated by G.W. Gunter. The church supported area missions and organized a Youth Union, Sunday School, and Woman's Missionary Union.

The congregation established Shady Grove Baptist Church in 1954. The church was renamed First Baptist Church of Smithfield in 1958. A new sanctuary was built in 1962 and several facilities were added over the years.

The church serves the area with a variety of programs.
