    • The First African Missionary Baptist Church in Bainbridge, Georgia, is a Romanesque Revival-style church built during 1904–1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
      It is a brick church. It was designed by Thomas H. Bynes, a member of the congregation who was a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, and is unusual as an "outstanding example of African-American church architecture in Georgia at the beginning of the 20th century", at a time when most churches founded and built by blacks were usually "plain, one-room frame structures, rectangular in shape with gable roofs" with "little or no ornamentation or architectural detailing.": 6–7 
      The interior has 12 curved rows of pews arranged in a semi-circle.
