CHURCH HISTORY

MINUTES OF 1ST MEETING

CHURCH CONVENANT

Campfield Memorial Missionary Baptist Church was organized September 18, 1931. The first meeting took place in the old Fair View School which the church later purchased from the county for $75.00.

There were 34 charter members present for the first meeting alone with 13 others who were present for baptism.

Rev. W. K. Wyatt was elected as the church’s first pastor. Rev. Wyatt served until August, 1934 and during his service saw plans being made toward the construction of a new church building.

The first church building was built in 1934. It was started under the leadership of Rev. Wyatt along with the help of hard working dedicated members. The church building was a 30 x 50 structure with a total cost of $856.95 for materials and labor.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

Under the leadership of Rev. E.L. McDaniel the church added six Sunday School rooms to the original structure in 1945.

In 1961 while Rev. E.C. Willingham was pastor, the church built the present educational building. The old church building was sold for $400.00 at that time and church services were held in the new educational building while the money was being raised for the new auditorium.

On November 15, 1964, the new auditorium was dedicated. Rev. Billy Holland was our pastor at that time.

The parsonage was built in 1968 while Rev. Melvin Owens was pastor. The Fellowship Hall was added about the same time.

AT PRESENT

Today the heart of Campfield Memorial is building up the church by equipping the saints for the fulfillment of ministry through worship, prayer, study, fellowship and missions. We are in the process of upgrading our facilities and planning mission trips both at home and abroad in fulfillment of Great Commission. Our members are encouraged to study, grow and minister to those around them. May our Lord and Savior always live within our hearts and help us to turn the world upside down for His glory.
