"Time's Up"
John 17:1-6:
These words spake JESUS, and lifted up his eyes to Heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify THY SON, that THY SON also may glorify THEE.
2 As THOU hast given HIM power over all flesh, that HE should give eternal life to as many as THOU hast given HIM.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know THEE the only true GOD, and JESUS CHRIST, whom THOU hast sent.
4 I have glorified THEE on the earth: I have finished the work which THOU gavest ME to do.
5 And now, O FATHER, glorify THOU ME with thine own self with the glory which I had with THEE before the world was.
6 I have manifested THY name unto the men which thou gavest ME; and they have kept THY word.

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".
