Boone's Creek Baptist Church
- Boone's Creek Baptist Church
Boone's Creek Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky, was organized in 1785 by Elders John Taylor and John Tanner with 18 original members. Prominent among the founders were Daniel Boone's brother Samuel with wife Sarah.
As part of the church's bicentennial celebration in 1985, Tim Capps wrote a historical summary of the church's history. [http://www.boonescreekchurch.com/history]
From the foreword:
Histories are written by the people who live them, and are recorded by those who wish to learn from the experiences of their forebearers something about the legacy they have inherited. Those persons who are members of Boone's Creek Baptist Church in its 200th year can take comfort in the knowledge that theirs is a rich tradition, made so by the faith, determination, courage, and character of those who passed this way since 1785. While the church has certainly had its tedious times and moments of contention, the Lord has never left its side, and it stands today in this community as a monument to what the will of God can do when His people accept that will and follow his pathway.
The current pastor of Boone's Creek Baptist Church is Matthew Perry, who has served as pastor since September 2003. He is the 50th pastor of this church's history. Boone's Creek Baptist Church is registered with the Kentucky Historical Society.
