Our History

In a letter written on January 29, 1943, Mrs. Ella Fenn Fletcher recalls her version of the organization of this church as follows:

 

"First Baptist Tahoka was organized in the summer of 1902 at the home of W.T. Fenn 10 miles north of where Tahoka now stands. It was organized by Dr. Pharr with seven charter members. They were Dr. Pharr, his wife, and two daughters; Mrs. J.H. Lea, Mrs. W.T. Fenn, and Ella Fenn; Dr. Pharr, pastor, and Ella Fenn, church clerk. The Church met in the Fenn home unltil Lynn county was organized and Tahoka was built, when the church met in a tent, later in the courthouse until their building was erected. Bro. Ira Parrack was called as pastor following Dr. Pharr."

​

Today, First Baptist Tahoka serves Tahoka and Lynn County through spiritual development, family and faith formation, and community outreach while calling all generations to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
