First Baptist Church Milwaukee


If anyone has any history of this church, please let me know.
As the name would denote, we believe it is the First Baptist Church 
in Milwaukee, established pre 1840s.

According to the history of Underwood Baptist Church in Wauwatosa
"By 1843 folks in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area had moved away from the First 
Baptist Church of Milwaukee and organized a circuit of small churches in the 
Wauwatosa Township." The new church established was in belief of 
anti-slavery.

DUTIES OF CHURCH MEMBERS

I.  	To take interest in all regular meetings, viz.: Preaching 
   	Service on the Lord's Day, Mid-Week Prayer Meeting, Communion 
	Service, and Sunday School.

II.  	To take active part in the work of the Church, and show 
	willingness to respond to such appeals for service and help 
	as ability and circumstances will allow.

III. 	To contribute regularly to the financial needs of the Church, and 
	also to the quarterly appeals for Beneficient objects; and that in 
	proportion as the Lord has prospered them. 

IV. 	Upon change of residence, such as will make it impossible to attend 
	to the above duties, to promptly apply for a letter of dismission to 
	some other Baptist Church more conveniently located. If for good 
	reasons non-resident members prefer to retain their membership, they 
	will be expected to communicate with the Church in writing at least 
	once a year, and to contribute something toward its support.

V. 	Neglect to comply with these duties without explanation for two years 
	in succession will be considered sufficient reason for dropping the 
	name from the membership Directory.

RESIDENT MEMBERS
In case of change of residence, notify church clerk by postal.
