Fellowship First Baptist Church started as a mission under the direction of the First Baptist Church of Affton, in the summer of 1948. The mission pastor was Bro. George F. Kemper. The first meetings were held in the basement of the High Ridge Elementary School and then later moved to the old Bowles Schoolhouse on Old Sugar Creek Road near Murphy, Missouri.

On February 3, 1949 it was voted to organize into a church and to affiliate with the Jefferson County Baptist Association. The mission was organized into Fellowship Baptist Church of the Southern Baptist Convention on May 15, 1949 with 32 charter members. Brother Kemper continued to serve as pastor until November of 1949. Reverend Ralph Tomek served from November 1949 through December 1950.
