2017 Project
Grants Creek Baptist Church, Rising Sun, Indiana.
200th Anniversary Marker
November 4th, 2017
In November of 2017 our society had the privilege of participating in the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the old Grants Creek Baptist Church. Pastor Tom Smith and myself (Ted Alexander) preached a revival meeting leading up to the day of the dedication of the marker. On Saturday we erected a 9-foot wide roof system marker on the front lawn of the church. After the dedication ceremony, we were treated to a special meal prepared by the ladies of the church. Delicious!
The 2×3 signs are durable, long lasting, high pressure laminate. They are high quality and are built to last. Gary Stinnett, pastor Aaron Rodgerson, and myself (Ted Alexander) worked on this project. It is trimmed with landscaping rock right out of the nearby Grants Creek!
The first sign relates the church’s founding and history. It also communicates the connection of this historic church to the famed wilderness preacher John Taylor.
The second sign is a memorial to the American wilderness preachers of bygone days.
Thanks goes out to Pastor Bujak. He is a blessed man to pastor a church this old that is still highly orthodox.
