On March 8, 1888 - eight brothers and sisters along with Rev. Anderson met and organized a Baptist Church. These 8 people and Rev. Anderson name the church: Anderson Chapel Baptist Church.
Anderson Chapel has had a total of 18 Pastors, including our current Pastor in its 131 year history, which includes our current Pastor, Rev. Donald Vance who accepted to be our leader on February 8, 2015 and for that we are grateful!
Anderson Chapel has ordained approximately 30 Deacons, including Deaon Vincent Crew Sr. - our current Deacon, who was ordained on March 26, 2017
Anderson Chapel has had the misfortune of 2 places of worship to burn down to the ground. Once across the branch, east of this location, and also in our current location.
In conclusion, Anderson Chapel has stood the test of the ages and has come out victorious. Our prayers is that this church may always stand for what is Right, Pure and Holy through Faith in God.
