Pennepack Baptist Church, established in 1688 in what is now Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is the oldest existing Baptist church in the state and one of the oldest in the nation. Pennepack Baptist Historical Foundation was established in 2010 to preserve the Church and promote its history. The Foundation maintains an archives of approximately five linear feet of archival materials, including church records such as administrative volumes, cemetery deed certificates, legal papers, and late nineteenth and early twentieth century photographs; scrapbooks compiled by church historians consisting of photocopied, printed, and some original documents dating from 1844 to the present; and newspaper clippings, genealogy and other materials. The church's earliest records are on deposit at the American Baptist Historical Society (Atlanta, GA).
