First Baptist Church of Memphis, NY, is a Baptist Church located at 1960 West Genesee Turnpike (Route 5) in the town of Camillus, NY with an Elbridge postal address.

The church was founded in Memphis, NY (1815) and was originally called the First Baptist Church of Canton, NY. However, the name changed to its current name after finding out that there was already a town called Canton.

The first official church building was built on 6421 Bennetts Corners Road Memphis, NY in 1837.

A church building was built at 6425 Bennetts Corner Road in about 1897. A large addition was added in 1981. The roof of the 1981 building collapsed under heavy snow in 2011. There were no injuries.

That building collapse led to the construction of the current building in 2012.
