The history of Four Mile Creek Baptist Church is a testament to the enduring faith and community spirit of its members. The church was constituted at Clayton Springs, Virginia on the 5th of August 1781. Around 1828, the church was moved four miles westward to its present location.

During the Civil War, the church building was demolished, and stately oaks that had surrounded it for generations were cut down. When peace came at last, the courtesy of the Methodist brethren provided for the congregation to meet twice a month at Laurel Hill. A meeting house was built on the old site. 

In 1890 the congregation built a new meeting house due to the growth in the congregation.

In 1912, through the inspiration of the women of the church, the building was enlarged, remodeled, and rededicated.

In March 1961, the church voted to purchase 13 additional acres of land in order to make desired changes in building and grounds. The parsonage was moved eastward about 200 yards and a new sanctuary was constructed. In the mid 1970’s, the church approved construction of a new parsonage.

The church’s bicentennial was observed in 1981 with a special celebration. In 2006, we celebrated our 225th Anniversary!

Four Mile Creek is located in an excellent community and is dedicated to providing service to the community.  The “Creek” finds abundant opportunity to serve GOD with its invigorating tradition, missionary outlook, loyal membership, and its pastor who is encouraging, uplifting and compassionate.
