Did the persimmon tree whisper secrets of faith to those gathered beneath its branches? Here at Little Forest Baptist Church, we uncover a story rooted in resilience. Little Forest Baptist Church wasn’t always this sturdy building. Its earliest members, led by Pastor Uriah Johnson, first worshipped in homes and under a persimmon tree. Imagine their faith, unwavering even without a dedicated structure. In 1905, their devotion took physical form with the construction of their first church. This sanctuary served them faithfully for over fifty years. Then, in 1959, progress came at a cost. The church was demolished to make way for what we now know as Interstate 95. Displaced but not defeated, some members gathered at a nearby Hills Texaco Station. They held onto their faith, determined to keep their congregation alive. A new chapter began in 1960. B.A. and Eva Moyler generously donated land. This land, just south of Boswell’s Corner off Route 1, became the site of the Little Forest Baptist Church we see today. This Little Forest Baptist Church stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith. It’s a reminder that community can thrive even in the face of displacement and change.
