A Brief History
-
Smith Valley
Baptist Church
began as a
mission of the
First Baptist
Church of
Greenwood, in
November of
1953. On March
20, 1955 the
church was
formally
organized, with
26 charter
members.
The congregation
moved into the
present location
in March 1959.
In April of 1996
a storm forced a
major rework of
the church
building.
Straight-line
winds ripped
through the
Smith Valley
community,
damaging many
homes and
businesses, and
damaging the
church to the
extent that it
was no longer
safe to conduct
worship services
within the walls
of the building.
In March, 1997,
the repairs, the
remodeling, and
the many updates
were completed,
and the Smith
Valley Baptist
Church
congregation
moved back home.
With a vibrant
congregation,
and a large
group of
children in the
6-13 age range,
Smith Valley
Baptist looks to
the future with
anticipation,
excitement, and
the attitude
that we are
still the
"miracle church"
that God called
into being over
50 years ago.
