ORGANIZED 1917

The first church book, dated 1917-1935, was destroyed by fire. Details of the organization have been lost, but oral history tells us that on Sept. 9, 1917, Strawberry Plains, First Baptist Church was organized. The church was organized in a wooden two-room structure on the present site of Rush Strong School. Land was donated, money subscribed and a building was built. All payments were met as due! The present brick veneered building was completed Jan. 8, 1950, on the site of their first building, across the old highway from Rush Strong School. The pastor's house was built at a later date. The church joined the Jefferson County Baptist Association in 1969. Roy Stalling ordained in 1943 became a Pioneer Missionary to South Dakota in 1976. Sixteen pastors have faithfully served the church. (Data & information from Milestone sixty: History of the Jefferson County Baptist Association 1919-1978 , Glen A. Toomey.1978).
