First Baptist Church of Cold Spring-According to the History of Baptist in Kentucky by Frank M Masters, referring to the Licking Baptist Church, now the First Baptist Church of Cold Spring; "The Licking Church was constituted with eight member, October 1794 in the home of William Decoursey. The church was named Mouth of the Licking in 1794, but was changed to Old Licking Baptist Church in 1820." It was the first in the county.
The Baptists were pioneers of religion in Campbell County. According to early records, William Hickman spoke to the Congregation at the Mouth of the Licking. Another early preacher statesman who preaches was elected Governor of Kentucky in 1896.
As the congregation grew, they desired to secure property whereon a meeting house could be built. Property was deeded from Thomas and Rebecca Lindsey on December 16, 1805 and a log and board structure build in 1800 was used as a meeting house. A white frame church was built in 1878 and served until a new brick building was dedicated on July 15, 1951. This church building served until 1993 when a new building was dedicated on September 19.
