The History of the South Baptist Church from "History of the Newark Baptist City Mission from its origin in 1851 to its seventeenth anniversary in 1868"

The South Baptist Church was organized on February 13, 1850 on Kinney Street by 37 members of the First Baptist Church. The First First Baptist Church erected the South Baptist Church building which opened on July 1, 1850. The church aided in local mission work through the Newark Baptist City Mission. A pipe organ was introduced to the church in 1859.

From the Newark Daily Advertiser, Saturday Evening, October 19, 1850:

"Rev. Dr. Hague will deliver two lectures on successive Sabbath evenings in the South Baptist Church, Kinney Street, on the Domestic Relations. The first on the 'Duties of Parents to their Children', will be delivered tomorrow evening at 7½ o'clock."
