October 1, 2011 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Terrell church’s establishment. This date will be remembered for a long time as one of the most memorable Sabbath days for church members, friends, and visitors.
According to church record historian Danna Doughty, the Terrell church was founded in 1910—but it was not until 1952 that it officially became a church. At its inception were only 21 members, but time passed, the congregation grew and the building they diligently raised money for was dedicated debt free in 1961.
On a sunny October morning 50 years later, Terrell church members, friends, and the community came to worship, praise, and dedicate the entire building to the cause of Christ and to the service of humankind. And while the Terrell church is considered small in size, it is a growing, mission-focused Bible church with a caring heart for its community and its members. Here in Terrell, we look forward to fulfilling our mission of discipleship and preparing as many souls as possible for Christ’s soon return. |
