LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH

The old Lebanon Baptist Church was the forerunner of what we know today as the 
First Baptist Church of Lumberton.  It was constituted in 1833, and it was in 
existence for a period of eleven years.

From 1833 through the time it dissolved in 1844 the following families 
frequented it’s fellowship:   Best, Bell, Biggs, Carter, Freeman, Fulmore, 
Howell, Humphrey, Ivey, Johnson, Kersey, Moore, Munroe, Musslewhite, Norment, 
Phillips, Potter, Powell, Revell, Rice, Rozier, Sanderson, Sexton, Smith, Surl
(e)s, Thompson, Townsend, Warwick, West, Willis, Wishart, and Woodall.

On the Saturday before the fourth Sabbath in April, 1844 the church voted to 
dissolve it’s organization.  On that day is was agreed that the church 
dissolve, and  the members take letters of dismission and join other churches; 
that James A. Rozier the clerk to write letters; that J. F. McCall sign a 
letter for J. A. Rozier; that J. A. Rozier write a letter to the association 
stating the reason of our dissolution; that the church book remain with James 
A. Rozier; and the dissolution was completed on Saturday, April 27th, 1844.

At the time of the dissolution, most of the remaining members connected 
themselves to Antioch Baptist Church.   A little over eleven years later, 
members from Antioch constituted the Lumberton Baptist Church [now First 
Baptist] on July 1, 1855.
