Six Principle Baptist Church (also known as Stony Lane Baptist Church, Stony Lane Six Principle Baptist Church and Old Baptist Meeting House) is an historic church at 921 Old Baptist Road in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. As of 2009 it was one of the last surviving historical congregations of the Six Principle Baptist denomination.
The cemetery and meeting house building date to 1703. General Six-Principle Baptists were a denomination that developed out of the First Baptist Church in America in Providence. The congregation in North Kingstown was likely founded after 1664 when Reverend Thomas Baker, a member of the Newport congregation, removed to North Kingstown.[2] The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[3] As of 2009 the church still holds weekly Sunday morning services at 10:30AM, and the pastor is John Wheeler.[4]
