Marker Text:
This church traces its history to April 1874, when eight charter members gathered to organize a Baptist congregation. The first pastor was W.W. Mond. Early worship services were held in a union church building which was shared with the local Methodist congregation and was also used as a school. Known as Harmony Baptist Church in the early 1890s, the original name of Liberty was restored in 1898. About that time the Methodist congregation ceased to use the union church facility, which has been enlarged over the years to accommodate the growing Baptist congregation. (1989)
