"The time was July 18, 1873 when a group of 13 came together to create and constitute the Baptist Church of Christ at New Georgia with the promise of God that "on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." [Matt. 16:18 NKJV]. For the next one hundred and thirty years, that small body grew into a large and involved force in the community.

"On March 13, 1913 the church building was blown away by a tornado, only for a conference to be held 4 days later with the New Georgia Baptist Church body voting to rebuild at once with the resolve and determination of their founders. The first Sunday School was organized in September of 1917 while the new building was being built. In January 5, 1918 the new building was finished and paid for leaving only $11.60 remaining in the treasury.

"The church was tested once again as the educational building was destroyed by fire on February 8, 1987. Proving their determination once again, the new educational building was completed by May 1, 1988 and all expenses were paid by June 6, 1993 making the church debt free." ~ New Georgia Baptist Church
