Welcome

I welcome you to this blog about all the pastors of First Baptist Church, Washington, Georgia. I realized a few years ago that, although I considered all of them to be my friends since 1930, I had little knowledge of where they came from or where they went before and after they were here. It's been a very interesting project.

S. H. Bennett

S. H. Bennett served as pastor of the Washington church from  January 1925 to  July 1930.


In a 1925 issue of The Christian Index S.H. Bennett of Washington was speaking of the CP when he said, “We have been hit hard by the drought. Because of a bank failure in October, I and others lost all we had, but in spite of that we are supporting the Cooperative Program. This is a challenge we must win.”


In 1906 S.H.Bennett was pastor of the Baptist church in Florala, AL.


Rev. Sam H. Bennett was born near Louisville, Barbour County, AL. October 31, 1879 & died December 11, 1951. Educated in Public Schools in Louisville & Clayton, AL., he graduated from Howard College, and the Southern Baptist Seminary. He was first called as assistant pastor at Southside Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL.  His first church as minister was the 2nd Baptist Church of Selma, AL. He came to Florala late in 1906 and served several churches in Georgia before retiring due to illness, and moving to Fairfield, AL. He married Achsa Hall of Birmingham, AL.   

In 1937 S.H.Bennett was pastor of the Baptist church in Camilla, GA.
