The Rocky Mountain Missionary Baptist Church was organized in 1889 in what was known as Echo Valley, located approximately two (2) miles east northeast of the present site behind the mountain.
After our 120th church anniversary in September 2009, 2010 we continue to be “A Church Building From The Inside Out.” In October and November not a lot of activities for Rocky Mountain, but 53 members from RMMBC did journey to Beona Louisiana for their fall musical. December 2009 RMMBC we had a watch
meet service with Rev. Billy Burris and the St. Peter’s Rock Baptist along with Rev. William Fields and The Pilgrim Valley Baptist Church. There was testifying, prayer, praise, and breakfast. After all of that we took a look back at the year of 2009 which included a DVD of some of the activities at RMMBC from our own Deacon Marcus McDonald. Deacon McDonald is the best for capturing great shots of people. When the year changes to 2010 we lost Mother Ethel Creggett and the RMMBC family was sadden, but in honor of her we named class #2 the RMMBC Adult Women’s Class as The Mother Ethel Creggett Sunday School Class. In March 2010, we celebrated Rev. Kenneth W. Myers Sr. and Family’s 2nd Anniversary with The Rocky Mountain Missionary Baptist Church. Rev. Myers came with a VISION of a new church. There has been meeting with bankers, contractors, engineers, and members of RMMBC. On Tuesday, September 14, 2010 soil was taken from the land for soil-testing and in the next weeks there will be surveying of the land. THANK YOU JESUS!
