In 1797, a small group of post-revolutionary War settlers began to gather as a Baptist Society in the Pompey-Manlius area. By the early 1800's, the congregation had grown, and in 1827 a church was built on Seneca Street in Manlius, New York. The present brick building was constructed in 1928. With the growth of the Sunday School, an educational wing was added in 1968.
The Church became affiliated with the Baptist Missionary Convention in 1828 and continues as an active member of the American Baptist Churches, USA.
While our genealogical records are limited, requests for information may be directed to our church historian, Mr. Elwin Richardson. Baptist historical information may also be obtained through the American Baptist Historical Society. The Manlius, New York Historical Society may provide information on the village.
