Mims Chapel United Methodist Church: Though We are All Different, To GOD We Are All the Same.

History of our Church

The first religious gathering place of the original pioneer families of the community is said to have been at the site of a sunken boulder, next to which the first crude log meeting house was constructed. Because of this boulder, the first structure was know as the "Old Rock Church".

About 1871, a larger one-room frame building replaced the log structure and the name was changed to Mims Chapel, after two brothers who were instrumental in procuring the six-acre tract of land. This white painted, one-room church remained in use until 1936, when a bad list to the structure necessitated its being torn down. The new church was built from the same material, except for necessary additions.

In January 1969, the old wooden building was torn down and replaced by a modern brick structure.

Mims Chapel maintains its strong historical background , while striving ever-forward to help spread God's glory and kingdom. Praise God in the highest! May Mims Chapel forever be the "Old Rock Church".

Though We are All Different, To GOD We Are All the Same.

These critters seem to be getting along quite nicely as they feast on the tasty corn.
Our critters at the feeder have learned to "share and share alike", kind of nice, don't you think? Aren't animals great!

"But GOD giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, and of fishes, and another of birds."
I Corinthians 15:38-39
