Not to mention the wonderful families we have at EBC who live across the globe spreading His Word! GUIDANCE Sometimes we all need a little help heading in the right direction. EBC is a judgement free zone where all are welcome. In 1916 a group of people meeting in a house on State St. and calling themselves Emmanuel Mission bought property on the corner of Main and Fairview. They raised the money for a building and in 1917 the building was built. This group of people (40 of whom were from Trinity Baptist Church) formed Emmanuel Baptist Church. Senator Warren Harding promised the first $100.00 for that first building and we have the recorded payment and that $100.00. He became President Harding just after that time. The nation was in WWI in those early days of the church. A parade formed when word came that the war was over, and the people took a large bell from in front of a second hand store and placed on a wagon and rung it through town. After the parade was over and the bell was returned to the store some people from Emmanuel purchased the bell for the bell tower and it remained there sounding the church time until the corner was sold and the bell was removed and stored.

Ever wonder what makes a Baptist Church a Baptist Church?
Two things need to be stated. First, other churches hold to some or maybe even most of these distinctives, but only Baptist hold to all of them. Second, these distinctives have been true of Baptist historically and may not be—even in some cases are not—held by some Baptist churches today. We are Baptist by name and by practice. |
