The Centennial History of Silver Creek Baptist Church, written by former pastor, Walter E. Tynes. ​

  1. The Silver Creek Baptist Church charter lists 13 men’s names.
  2. According to various church minutes, beginning in the early 1800’s, a group of members would withdraw their membership and help organize a new church in nearby areas.
  3. Centennial church minutes share that Silver Creek Baptist Church furnished most of the men for the organization of 10 nearby churches: Mt. Zion, Mt. Herman, Centerville, Silver Springs, Bala Chitto, Holmesville, Smyrna, Bluff Springs, Tylertown, and Mesa.
Isn’t it wonderful to know that a little church founded by 13 people over 200 years ago, when the United States of America was only 38 years old and Mississippi was not yet a state, is still going strong and serving the LORD faithfully. The founders built a strong spiritual foundation and gave us a wonderful heritage. Our prayer is that our current and future membership will continue to faithfully serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and share His message with the world.
