Although the congregation has existed here in Eagle Point since 1893, this church has existed since 1906. The following is taken from the church's website to describe its history:
In 1893, the Taylor family moved to Eagle Point, Oregon and started a Sunday School in a log house on the banks of Little Butte Creek. In 1906, property was donated and a building erected by the community for the purpose of holding church services. The first congregation was a Baptist group.
After the Baptists left, a series of ministers filled the pulpit for various terms until 1926 when the church organized as a Presbyterian congregation. Except for a few seasons, the church continued to grow and thrive. Notable pastors during this time included J.S. Smith and Keith Fields.
Following Pastor Fields resignation, the church voted to retire the Presbyterian church and organize as a community Bible church. It was not until 1956, however, that the congregation was officially incorporated as "Eagle Point Community Bible Church."
The church continued to grow under the ministry of Floyd Pollack, Glen Wade, and Joseph Munshaw in the late 40's through 50's. New building additions and new ministries continued to be added during this time, with the official incorporation coming in 1956.
Warren Christen came to Eagle Point Community Bible in 1960 and stayed through 1978. More growth and remodeling occurred to the building. The church hosted a Christian kindergarten from 1977 to 1982.
In 1979, Dick Bull arrived as our pastor. We gained an expanded sanctuary, a fellowship hall, and a successful child care center which operated for 17 years.
The church enjoys a reputation where whole families are welcome, especially with outreaches to teens, children, and adults. There will be more challenges in the days ahead, but we move forward in faith.
