Mims Chapel United Methodist Church: The Animals Return with Spring

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".

The Animals Return with Spring

With all the tender green grasses and honeysuckle vines, our deer have been a little scarce at the feeder. We are glad to see them and will "gravey them up" each night so that they will return. Animals are a gift from GOD, they are important to HIM, as HE sees to their needs. Treat them kindly and most of all ENJOY THEM!!
