The James Petigru Boyce Chapel is a historic church building at 1306 Hampton Street in Columbia, South Carolina. It is a Greek Revival building built in 1859. A convention met here on December 17, 1860, whose delegates voted unanimously for South Carolina to secede from the United States, leading to the American Civil War. It was designated a National Historic Landmark as First Baptist Church, the role it played at the time. The building is part of the facilities complex of the First Baptist Church, Columbia- a Southern Baptist megachurch.Plan your First Baptist Church visit and explore what else you can see and do in Columbia using our Columbia itinerary website.

First Baptist is an absolutely wonderful place to worship our Lord Jesus! If you’re looking for something new, something exciting, and somewhere to belong come and see First Baptist and feel the spirit of the lord! From the weekly message we receive, to the absolutely beautiful choir, and the sense of community you feel when interacting with the people who make up First Baptist, you will feel like your home! Pastor Wes and Pastor Steve do an absolutely GREAT job teaching us about Jesus and how we can walk closer to the lord! It’s time to make disciples and spread the GOOD news of our Lord and Savior! If you’re feeling a little lost these days, come and check out First Baptist! Everyone will welcome you with open arms! Come and feel the love!

One of the biggest and oldest churches in Columbia down town. It organizes lots of activities year round. Their Christmas pageant is worth watching.
