Bagdad First
Assembly of God
In 1924, Bagdad First Assembly of God was officially recognized as one of Northwest Florida’s earliest churches. Its origins in Bagdad can be traced to an early Holiness group called the “Sanctified People.” The majority of these folks relocated to California around 1920 leaving behind a small remnant which continued the Pentecostal and Holiness style of worship in Bagdad.
The members first congregated in an old wooden tabernacle nearby on Garcon Point Road. They acquired their present location from the First Baptist Church in 1927. On this site stood a wooden building which would later receive a brick facade. It served as the church until 1982 when a modern octagon-shaped sanctuary was built. The church has again expanded adding a Family Life Center.
Bagdad First Assembly of God hosts a multitude of events throughout the year including their popular fish fries. All are invited to come and worship in a place full of 'loving, living, and sharing Jesus Christ'. Visit their page at www.facebook.com/bagdadfirstassembly/.
