The former First Baptist Church, now the Valleytown Cultural Arts Center is a historic Baptist church building at 101 Chestnut Street in Andrews, Cherokee County, North Carolina. The Classical Revival brick structure was built in 1923 for a congregation founded in 1902; it was their second building on the site. The building was used by the congregation until c. 1987, when it was sold to a local nonprofit corporation for use as an arts center.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
