The church has no Internet presence beyond automatically generated unofficial Facebook pages and web-spidered directory listings. They generally list the church as being in Bowie, which is only a mailing address, nearly thirteen miles away. The sanctuary itself looks to have been built around the mid-20th century. Not far from here, though, and within view, is
an old, vacant church building that is referenced in a
history provided by the folks at the Clay County Historical Society. That one was a union church shared by the Presbyterians, Baptists, and Methodists, so one supposes that this small town Baptist congregation can at least trace its roots into the 1890s.
