Mims Chapel United Methodist Church: Prayers & Joys Expressed

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".

Prayers & Joys Expressed

Praise reports and joys were expressed. We had some out sick today and some traveling. Lift them up in your prayers. Please remember the Barrett Family. The two Prayer Quilts are one for healing and one for a lady with breast cancer. Please stop and say a silent prayer and tie a knot in their quilt. We had visitors today and we are thankful to GOD. All are welcome in the House of the LORD and we LOVE visitors....3 times and you are ours!! Our Sunday School classes are growing, big folks and small ---such a blessing. Bro. Richard closed with the Pastoral Prayer.
