The Lord said not to have graven images "to worship them", that is, it is prohibited to give divine honor to any created thing.

These days, I'm pretty sure people are more likely to make idols of money, pleasure, and power.

Anyhow, as long as you don't worship the figures in --- for instance ---your Nativity set, you're not committing idolatry.

“Statue of the first pastor of the First Baptist Church in Amherst, Nova Scotia”

Looks more like a garden gnome...

There is no prohibition on statues on the Baptist Faith & Message - a doctrinal statement that SBC churches are NOT required to use - but it would be RARE to see statues in a baptist church. Or on the lawn.
