Almost one hundred fifty years have passed since Mt. Gilead Baptist Church was established in 1876. It has seen ups and downs, happiness and sadness, crying and rejoicing in its membership during the passing of the years. Believing that a look at its past can delight, inspire, and teach us, highlights from its history have been put into this book.
Much of the information has been taken directly from the church minutes, but the minutes before 1928 were lost in a fire. Mr. Jim Pierce was church clerk in 1928 and lived with his father, Mr. Bud Pierce, whose home was destroyed by fire. Information about the years before 1928 is the collected memories of older residents of the community and material taken from the Beech River Association Minutes.
