Anyone having articles or photographs pertaining to the church or its early members and who is willing to loan them for the display, is urged to contact the church clerk. The East Auburn Baptist Church is the second oldest church organization in Auburn and the oldest Baptist group, in the city. It was organized on Feb. 17, 1807, as the Baptist Church of Minot, and became known as the Auburn Baptist Church of Auburn upon the separation of Auburn from the town of Minot As Auburn grew, the church name became East Auburn’s Baptist.
