Our History

In 1935 the Adams' donated some land to the church which had a dwelling house on it and the Rocky Creek church then began to meet there. The location of the house was about where the present building is.

In the early 1940's a wooden church building and a "preacher's house" were built in the same location as the dwelling house. A number of years later a brick section was built on to the front of the wooden building. Then in the early to mid 1960's the present building and "preacher's house" were built...again at the same location. It is said that the nails were pounded out of the boards of the old building and the boards were used in the construction of the new building. In 1978-79 the auditorium was refurbished. In 1980 another building was constructed (to the left of the church building) which is now the fellowship building.
