PROVIDENCE BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY

 

Providence Baptist Church was organized on its present site on the first Sunday in December 1887 with fourteen members.  The area was then known as Harlem.

 

In 1908, the property was valued at $450.00.  Today, it has a value of over $200,000.00  In 1937, a new sanctuary was dedicated.  It was constructed from logs that were taken to the sawmill.  Again in 1964, a new sanctuary measuring 39 feet by 50 feet was dedicated debt free.  In 1981, the fellowship hall and classrooms were completed.  An addition to the sanctuary was completed in 1983.  A recent addition to the fellowship hall doubles as classroom space.  The most recent project was the purchase of land in front of the church with a vision for the future of developing it into a recreational area.

 

Thirty-four men have pastured the church over the years.  Past Bill Shepherd began his ministry here on January 5, 1997.  He and his wife, Laura, are from Melrose, Florida.

 

The cemetery is located on the property with the church and is at 141 North Providence Church Road, parcel #22-08-25-0000-0070-0000.  The cemetery can be also called Harlem Community Cemetery and can be confused with the Union Grove Cemetery, which can also be called Harlem Community Cemetery.

 

Take CR 309-D (Bardin Road) north off SR 100.  Go approximately 8.5 miles to North Providence Church Road.  Turn left and go approximately .3 miles to church on right.  RICE CREEK QUAD.  N 29o 46.880 W 81o 46.898.  (Maintained).
