In March 2020, COVID-19 Hit Hard, The World Over!

12/23/2021

 
All churches closed their doors as requested by government officials to hinder the spread of the deadly virus.

During this time, our churches held together by meeting outside with members separated, listening in their cars, newsletters kept folks informed of happenings with the church family.

Due to health issues and age (72), our pastor, Rev. J.D. Shiflet, decided to retire as of Dec. 31, 2020, and our church began the search for our pastor and our supply pastor in the meantime.

From Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church, the Rev. Ervin Stutzman, 70 years old, (along with his wife, Wanda, age 69) became our supply pastor on Jan. 17, 2021. The couple has been in the area for a while and has helped many churches in the Laurens Association transition between pastors.

Origin

4/30/2009

 
It was a fall day, Oct. 3, 1897, when a group of believers, under the leadership of Rev. Swindler of Newberry, gathered under the protection of a brush arbor on the corner of Holmes and Oak Streets. A brush arbor consists of small trees or bushes with branches intertwined across the top to give some protection from the elements and wide enough for a small group to gather beneath. The purpose of this gathering was to worship God and to establish a body of believers in the community. These believers were known at first as Little River Baptist Church.
Before they were able to erect a building, this group needing protection and growing met on the upstairs floor of a Fleming Street drug store. Later they met in a hall over the company store building. Methodists and Presbyterians also used this facility. On the fourth Sunday, morning and evening services were held.
