First Baptist Church Dedicated

Soon after the College moved from Warren to Providence, President James Manning was called to be the pastor of the First Baptist Church. During his ministry, the ample meeting house was built at the base of College Hill “for the publick worship of Almighty God and also for holding commencement in.” Since 1776, all but two commencements have been held in the church.
