Marker Text
While no church records predating 1895 exist today, tradition holds that
Sulphur Springs Missionary Baptist Church dates to 1890, when area residents
formed the congregation. They first met in the Sulphur Springs schoolhouse near
the springs for which the community is named. In the early part of the 20th
century, the congregation moved to this site, where it built a frame sanctuary.
Other facilities were added during the next several decades as the church
continued to grow. Over the years, members have supported other churches through
the Texas Mission Builders program, as well as denominational organizations such
as the American Baptist Association. (2005)
