Mims Chapel United Methodist Church: Lighting of the Third Advent Candle by Gary and Pat Carroll, Kody and Tommy Youngblood.

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".

Lighting of the Third Advent Candle by Gary and Pat Carroll, Kody and Tommy Youngblood.

The LORD your GOD is in your midst, rejoicing over you with gladness, renewing you in love. " I will bring you home and restore your fortunes," sayeth the LORD.

In this new light we give thanks to the LORD.

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

We will rejoice in the LORD always.

We light a third candle to reveal the pathway of faithfulness.
(Lighting of the third candle.)

As a covenant people we will seek to live in the joy of the LORD. Amen.
