First Baptist Church is a historic African-American Baptist church complex located at Covington, Virginia. The property includes two churches. One of the churches was built about 1890, and is a Gothic Revival style frame church. After construction of the 1911 church, it served as a classroom annex and cafeteria for a nearby school. The 1911 church is a Gothic Revival / Colonial Revival brick church. It features a corner belfry tower, lancet arched stained-glass windows, and a modernistic 1955 education wing.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
