Church History

First Baptist Church of Ledgewood, New Jersey, was built in 1917 and has changed little in appearance since then. The stained glass, pulpit and pews are all original. The pews came from a church in New York City and the pulpit was made by a member of the church.

The stained glass is said to have come from a studio in Newark, New Jersey, and is high quality although it is not Tiffany. Each window was donated by a local family or organization and has a memorial plaque at the bottom. Each window also has a Bible verse, one of which is misspelled!
