The First Baptist Church is a historic church building, now housing the non-denominational Calvary Revival Church Peninsula, at 119 29th Street in Newport News, Virginia. Built in 1902, the church is a prominent local example of Romanesque Revival architecture executed in stone. It was designed by R.H. Hunt of Chattanooga. It is fronted by a three-arch recessed porch, flanked by a tower on the left whose upper stages have rounded corners, and is capped by a pyramidal roof with conical turrets at the corners. The congregation was organized in the 1880s, and occupied this site until the 1980s.^[2] The congregation opened a suburban chapel in 1979. It operated on both sites for many years before closing the 29th Street church.^[3]

The building, and the attached education building, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.^[1]
