About
12 miles east of Lancaster, South Carolina, nestled amid rolling acres
of farmland, you will find the small, but growing community of Rich Hill.
Named for the generosity of the people of this community. Others say
it was due to the rich farmland in this area; whatever the case, both
statements are true of Rich Hill. The name describes what we were, what
we are and with God's blessings we will continue to be "Rich" in
the blessings of God.
On December 17, 1906, God spoke to a small group of people and led them to start
Rich Hill Baptist Church. There were 22 members in that first church. On March
4, 1907, construction of Rich Hill Baptist Church's first building began. In
1949, the sanctuary was remodeled and the Education Building was constructed.
In 1956, the church expanded again by adding its steeple and front steps. The
church parsonage was also constructed in the late 50's. In 1979, the church constructed
a Family Ministry Building consisting of new education space and a full size
gym.
Today, Rich Hill Baptist Church continues to grow in Christ's love and blessings.
There is always something going on at Rich Hill Baptist Church and there is always
something for everyone! From nursery, preschool, children, youth, young adult,
adult to senior adult Sunday School classes and activities, we at Rich Hill Baptist
Church hope that you will visit us and personally see what Christ is doing in
our church and community. |
