Mims Chapel United Methodist Church: Mims Chapel Youth Fishing and Camping Trip

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".

Mims Chapel Youth Fishing and Camping Trip

July 9th & 10th our Young Men from Mims Chapel Youth went to Lake Bob Sandin and camped out and fished and looks like they had a great time.

Special thanks to Leslie Schustereit for the use of his nice barge. I'm sure everyone really enjoyed it. Thanks to all the guys who worked with the Youth. It was a fun trip.
