Smith Rollins, Tull Holliday, and Mr. Thomas. From the brush arbor, the small group moved to a one-room wooden structure. The church was built on the hill that is now the Camp Creek cemetery, just the other side of the "wagon trail" that is now Camp Creek Road. Some of the early pastors included Charlie Atkinson, Charlie Garrett, Fulton Childers, Jim Davis, Lloyd Pace, Paul Hayes, R. F. Jones, Tom Martin and Wade Nicolson. In 1947, the church constructed its first cinder block building using sand hauled from the old dam in Cateechee. In 1972, the present building was constructed. Since then the front has been remodeled, fellowship building added, and parsonage bought. Pastors since 1972 have been Ralph Home, Charles Worley, Robert Mullinax, Russell Baker, and currently Ernest Lundy. The first annual Missions Conference was held in 1977, supporting 10 missionaries. In March, 1995, we held our 18th Missions Conference. We now support 75 missionaries around the world. On May 21, 1989, Camp Creek Baptist Church celebrated its 100th anniversary. With a record attendance of 261, pastors, guests, and dignitaries were honored. Over the years, Camp Creek Baptist Church has enjoyed the blessings of the Lord in its various functions. The church has grown from 5 members to a steady 140+ membership. We have held to the fundamental truths taught in the Bible and believe this is the reason the Lord continues to bless this church.
