East Hickman Baptist Church, a friendly church in a country setting!
One final addition was made to the property in 1974. West Hall, named in part for one of the dear families in the church, serves as fellowship hall for church functions, including dinners, homecomings, and wedding receptions. Recently the West Hall and kitchen areas were remodeled, again using almost all church member labor. The kitchen was expanded into what had served as the church office, which was moved upstairs. A tile floor was put down in the fellowship hall and in the kitchen. Those improvements, along with new cabinets and appliances, have turned what had been a small, cramped space into a thoroughly modem and useable area for many important church functions.
While the dates and buildings are significant, the most important part of the history of East Hickman Baptist Church is found in the lives that have been changed, and are still being changed, by East Hickman’s faithful proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The fact that it still stands to do that work after more than 200 years is in itself a testimony to the faithfulness of generations of humble believers determined to obey and serve God. And the best part of its history is still being written; in fact, the full story will not be known until the Lord Jesus reveals it in eternity. But what an exciting privilege it is to be a part of that story as it unfolds!
