Mims Chapel United Methodist Church: Thanksgiving Blessings

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".

Thanksgiving Blessings

Praying you are ...

Blessed in a way that brings GOD'S presence closer than you have ever known it..

Blessed in a way that assures you of the plans HE has for your life...

Blessed in a way that fills your heart with a thousand "Thank Yous" for all that HIS hands will bring your way.

May the LORD continually BLESS YOU! with Heaven's blessings as well as with human joys.
Psalm 128:5
