Sunday School Class from 1956

On December 2, 1851 a group of men from Fishing Creek Baptist Church congregated to form a new church.  In its humble beginning, the people of the newly formed church met in homes of the congregation for their church services.  They later met in a brush arbor, thus the name Fishing Creek Arbor Baptist Church.  On June 4, 1857 our church received the original Church Constitution from Fishing Creek Church.
