History

Boones Creek Baptist Church was organized April 30, 1881, at the Hodge’s School House by a presbytery composed of J.C. Davidson, Thomas H. Crouch and George P. Faw. The church was originally called Mt. Hermon, and there were 58 charter members. The original church building was a wood-frame construction, located where the current brick church building is standing. This was replaced in 1941 by a new brick church and the congregation met in the Hale Store on Flourville Road during this time and was called Flourville Baptist Church.  There is a church cemetery located behind the church, and names of early families buried in the cemetery include:  Hale, Hodges, Crouch, Dellingham, McFall, Durham, Brown, Bashor, Bailey and Kirpatrick.
