Davis served as pastor of First Baptist Church, Wichita Falls, Texas, in the early 1920s true or false

1. What the user is actually asking and how that can be tested

The question seeks a single factual verification: whether an individual named “Davis” held the pastoral office at First Baptist Church, Wichita Falls, during the early 1920s; that is a discrete historical claim that can be checked against the church’s historical roster, denomination records, local archives, or published histories of the congregation (the grantable evidence would be a named listing of pastors covering the time window in question) ^{[2] [1]}.

2. What the available church records and public pages show

The First Baptist Church of Wichita Falls maintains a history page and related materials that chronicle its ministers and milestones; those materials confirm the congregation dates to the 1880s and identify named pastors for certain periods—an 1916 rebuild occurred under Pastor E. B. Moore, and other pastors are named for later decades, while modern-era senior pastors include Robert Jeffress (senior pastor beginning in 1992, per biographical summaries) and Bob McCartney (senior pastor since 2008 per the church’s “I’m New” page) ^{[2] [1] [3] [4]}.

3. What is not found in the reviewed sources

Nowhere in the First Baptist Church historical snippets or staff listings supplied is a pastor identified only as “Davis,” nor is there a listing of a “Davis” serving in the early 1920s on the pages reviewed; the available material highlights E. B. Moore around 1916, later named pastors through the 20th and 21st centuries, and a local historical museum that preserves the church’s timeline, but it does not provide a roster that includes a Davis for the early 1920s ^{[1] [2] [5]}.

4. How confidently the claim can be answered from these sources

Based solely on the supplied church webpages, promotional pages, and a public biographical note about a later pastor, there is no corroborating evidence that someone named Davis was pastor in the early 1920s; that absence in these specific sources means the claim is unverified by the reporting provided, and the responsible conclusion for this dataset is that the claim is not supported rather than definitively disproven—additional primary records would be needed for absolute disproof ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.

5. Possible reasons the name “Davis” might appear in other accounts and what to check next

A “Davis” could appear in other, unreviewed records for several reasons: a different congregation named First Baptist in the region, a lay leader or interim minister rather than a listed pastor, a transcription or genealogical error, or a pastor of another local Baptist church (for example, Pilgrim Rest and other Baptist congregations have their own founding dates and staff histories) — verifying requires consulting denominational minutes, local newspapers from the era, the church’s archived minutes or museum holdings, and county records, which the present sources do not include ^{[6] [2]}.

6. Bottom line answer

Given the absence of any mention of a Pastor Davis in the First Baptist Church of Wichita Falls materials and staff histories supplied, the statement “Davis served as pastor of First Baptist Church, Wichita Falls, Texas, in the early 1920s” is not supported by the reviewed reporting and should be treated as unverified by these sources; to resolve the question decisively would require access to archival pastor rosters, denominational records, or contemporaneous local newspapers not present in the provided documents ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.
