CHURCH HISTORY

     The people of Upper Meat Camp started holding revivals in their community starting about 1900. As these revivals became more and more popular several people got together to start planning a church. William Proffit, L.A. Watson, John Greene and others assumed the responsibility of building the church and J.C. Proffit donated the site for both the church and cemetery. The building was finished in 1915 and at that time the church was a missionary arm of Meat Camp Baptist Church.

 

      Proffit’s Grove Baptist Church was organized as an independent entity on November 27, 1921. L.A. Wilson was elected as Profitt’s Grove Baptist Church’s first pastor, pastoring and serving the church from 1921-1929 and again in 1934. The total number of members at that time was 133 people.
