History
The first meeting of what would become Mizpah Baptist Church was held on June 1, 1834. The church grew as it served the community. In 1918, the church closed and most of its members moved to other churches. In 1924 the church was reopened, and it has grown to what it is today. Throughout all the years of Mizpah Baptist Church, its mission has remained the same, to reach the surrounding community and spread the gospel for Jesus Christ!
