Venture Church is a church located on the Lincoln Extension. Prior to moving to the current location in 2009 it was located on the edge of downtown. On February 9, 2014, the church announced it was changing its name from First Baptist Church to Venture Church.[1]
Originally met in log house where the old Hattiesburg High School building is now.[2]
After the move to Lincoln Road, the church sold its organ, originally given to the church in 1952 by Dr. T. E. Ross, to Westminster Presbyterian Church.[3]
