Sydney Baptist Church was established in 1909 when it began with a dream in 1908 with the Union Church, approximately 1/4 mile from its current location, where it housed both a church and a public school. In 1917, Sydney Baptist joined the South Florida Baptist Association in the year the United States became actively involved in World War I, when our country felt the effects of the war. This was
the beginning of the Baptist work here at Sydney and a break from the Union Church. In 1939, a church renovation added a choir loft and a baptistery. The main entrance and seating arrangement was also changed from three sections of pews to two sections of pews. In 1944, the church added a ten-room education room for Sunday School and office space. In 1958, the church built the Education Building behind the church sanctuary. Sometime between 1958 and 1964, the first sanctuary building was moved to the south side of the property. In August 1964, the church family broke ground for the current sanctuary. On November 24, 1964, the new building was dedicated. According to records, Reid Wall Fellowship Hall was also dedicated in 1964. Throughout the years, the Lord has blessed Sydney Baptist Church and giving God ALL the glory.
