How it all started...

Sponsorship for the mission was assumed by the Mobile Baptist Association until Dauphin Way Baptist Church took on this role in August of 1959.

On February 25, 1973, the Mission voted to be organized into First Baptist Church, Irvington. An educational building was buit and dedicated on October 3, 1976, and a new sanctuary constructed and dedicated in 1984.
