The new church was to have been known as the Fourth Baptist Church but, when an existing Baptist church closed, leaving only three Baptist churches, the name was changed to Citadel Square Baptist Church.  The name refers to the church's location on upper Meeting St., immediately across from Marion Square,which at the time was the location of the Citadel.

The church is widely known as a hate group and is monitored as such by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center.  The church has been involved in actions against gay people since at least 1991, when it sought a crackdown on homosexual activity at Gage Park six blocks northwest of the church.

Protests have also been held against Jews and Catholics, and some protests have included WBC members stomping on the American flag or flying the flag upside down on a flagpole.

The Shiloh Baptist Church (Old Site) is a historic Baptist church at 810 Sophia Street in downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia.  The church is a two story brick building with predominantly Classical Revival styling, modeled to some degree after the Presbyterian Church of Fredericksburg, with later alterations.  The church was built in 1890 for a predominantly African-American congregation, whose origins lie in a mixed-race Baptist congregation founded in 1804.  That congregation split about 1815, worshipping in a building at this site, and became known as the Shiloh Baptist Church with the construction of a new building here in the 1830s.  In 1849 the large congregation again divided, with most of its white members leaving to form the Fredericksburg Baptist Church at Princess Anne and Amelia Streets.  Services were discontinued during the American Civil War, and the existing building was damaged, in part due to abuse caused during military occupation of the city.  It collapsed in 1886, and the present building was constructed in 1890 as its replacement.  However, due to a schism in the congregation, two separate groups claimed the name "Shiloh Baptist", which was resolved by giving the one at this location the name "Shiloh Baptist Church (Old Site)", which it still retains. First Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church in Charleston, South Carolina.  The congregation was founded in 1682 under the leadership of William Screven.  It is one of the oldest Baptist congregations in the American South.  The church congregation was originally organized in Kittery, Maine (then part of Massachusetts) under the guidance of the First Baptist Church of Boston.  In 1696 twenty-six congregants followed Pastor Screven and moved to Charleston after being pressured by the New England Congregationalist authorities.  The relocated congregation became the First Baptist Church of Charleston.  Pastor Screven recommended that future any future pastor be "orthodox in faith, and of blameless life, and does own the confession of faith put forth by our brethren in London in 1689" declaring the church to be firmly Calvinist (Reformed Baptist).  First Baptist Church is currently affiliated with the Southern Baptist denomination.  The current Greek Revival sanctuary was designed by Robert Mills and built in 1820.
