Yellow Creek

Yellow creek Baptist Church is one of north Georgia’s oldest churches.  Located in Murrayville, it was established in 1823.  A church with a long and rich tradition of serving the community and the Lord.  The church stands on part of the property deeded to the church in September 1824 by Valentine Warren.  More property was donated later on by Louis Parks in 1886 and by others in the future.  The original Arbor was built in the mid-1800’s on land deeded to Benjamin Parks, Wilson Parks, Wilson Farr, John Mayson and Gilford Thompson.  The Arbor stood almost directly across the road from where the church is now.  In 1932 the Arbor was purchased by Col. John West and moved to a private museum in Westville, Georgia.  Our current Arbor was constructed in 1946.  The church still holds Camp Meeting there annually in the Fall.  The original church was a wood framed structure which later on the 1960s was renovated and enlarged and also bricked.  The original church which still stands today gave birth to our new church which was completed in July 2007.  The church fellowship hall was built and dedicated in 1980.  A covered area with picnic tables was later added August 1992.  These are only a few of the historic facts of our beloved church.  We welcome you to come join us and worship with us at Yellow Creek Baptist Church.
