Now a brief history of our Grants Lick Baptist Church which was organized in 1859 at Plum Creek. Later the church was moved to the present location. The tract of ground was given for the building by Mr. Clary. It was a one room structure with home made seats. In the year 1894, a frame building on the spot where the present building now stands was built. Worship services were conducted in this building, a one room structure until the year 1950. On June 5, a contractor, Jesse Wilson began the remodeling of this one room building and on July 1, 1951, the building, consisting of an educational plant of 15 classrooms, furnace room, two rest rooms, kitchen, baptistery, and auditorium were dedicated. Brother James R Armstrong was pastor at that time. {In 1963} There were 399 resident members. Brother R Gene Livingood was the present pastor. The church formerly face the east and now faces the north. The Oakland Cemetery is on the west and south. Among early pastors were Brothers J A Jolly, B S Akers, Jesse W Bengle, Brother Wilson and Brother Brown.
