History

[edit]

Founded in 1804, under the name of Shiloh and with origins dating back to the 18th century, Fredericksburg Baptist Church is one of a few historical churches located in the Fredericksburg Historic District.[1]

Its first pastor was Andrew B. Broaddus (1770–1848)[2] of Caroline County, Virginia, who was a renowned minister of his day and "declared the most eloquent man that ever spoke within the walls of the Capitol]."[3]
