In 1832 the members decided to move down into the city of Madison. In June of 1853, a cornerstone was laid for the new church on Vine Street but it was not completed until 1860. A new wing was added in 1964. Madison First Baptist Church records taken from microfilm (Roll # 124) on file at the Jefferson County Public Library.
