First African Baptist Church

First African Baptist Church, located in Savannah, Georgia, claims to be derived from the first black Baptist congregation in North America.  It owed its formation to the work of three men -- David George, George Liele, and Andrew Bryan -- who were brought together by the American Revolution. Since it was organized in 1773 by Reverend George Leile, the church even predates the United States' official formation in 1776.
