The Woman's Missionary Society of the First Baptist Church of Dublin, Georgia, was organized in August 1887 with the following charter members: Mrs. F.H. Rowe, Sr., Mrs. Mercer Haynes, Mrs. A.A. Cowart, Mrs. M.E. Martin, Mrs. J.B. Wolfe, Mrs. G.W. Belcher, Mrs. W.W. Robinson, and Miss Mattie Ramsay. It was known at that time as the Ladies Aid Society.

Mrs. F.H. Rowe, Sr. was elected president; Mrs. W. Robinson, treasurer; Miss Mattie Ramsay, secretary. Meetings were held on the first Tuesday of each month at the church. Assessment of $.10 per month was made on each member.

The Society grew rapidly, soon having a membership of 200 with annual contributions of $2000. In 1903 the women took the initial step toward the building of a new church. The first offering was taken in the amount of $1.69, which became the nucleus of the building fund. Soon this grew into $1500, which was put into the Sunday School division of the building project.

A ceremony of laying the first brick for the new building was held in 1905. Mrs. F.H. Rowe, Sr. and Mrs. J.R. Hightower were joined by the pastor, Rev. M.A. Jenkins, on this occasion. Within a few years the society was able to contribute $2000 more to the completion of the church. The building was completed in 1909. Soon afterwards the ladies started a fund to aid in the purchase of a carpet for the building.
