Church History

A Brief History of Mill Creek Baptist

Sometime prior to 1956, Mill Creek Baptist Church was organized in the hay loft of a barn owned by Wolf Ranch. The members of the church purchased a small, wood frame building and had it moved to its present site in 1956. The founding pastor of the church was Reverend Robert Pringle. During the following years, many pastors came and went as the church struggled. In August of 1968, the church called Reverend Don Ramsey to be their new pastor. On his first Sunday, there were five adults and eight children in attendance. But the church began to grow.

A bus ministry was started, then a building program adding Sunday school rooms and a new sanctuary. Later a fellowship hall and a two-story educational building were added. Finally, in 2002 a Family Life Center was built which includes a gym and class rooms. Just recently the church was given a complete face lift inside and out, and a beautiful, new vestibule was added. After thirty-eight years, Pastor Ramsey now has an associate pastor, Reverend David Beecher, and together they have seen God do many wonderful things for and through the church that was started in a little 30 x 35 foot wood frame building. We can truly say, "To God be the glory!"
