REMEMBERING THE PAST, CELEBRATING THE FUTURE
In 1918, where Bevill's Chapel Baptist Church stands today, there was a one room schoolhouse.
It's principal and lone teacher was Mr. Bert Mansfield. Mr. Math Bevill, arriving home from the Army after World War I, was interested in having church services in the area. So he got together and had a meeting with his sister Daisy Bevill, Maggie Hill, and Rosa Mooneyham and asked preacher Bro. Brown to come and hold services in the school house one Sunday each month.
After much planning and talking to others, several men donated logs to help build the church. The land was donated by Mr. Bill Stewart and logs were donated by Mr. Fletcher Jones, Mr. Lee Bevill, Mr. Robert Hill and others. Many men helped hand the logs, and added their talents in helping erect the building.
It wasn't until the year 1921 that the building was completed and officially organized as Bevill's Chapel Missionary Baptist Church. Through the years many additions have been made to the church, such as new classrooms, new fellowship hall, and a new baptistry.
Bro. Brown was the first pastor, still holding services one Sunday a month. He was also pastor of two other churches as well. Other pastors to date are: Vernon Counts, J.T, Wickes, Hugh Merrill, Jesse Wilbanks, Vertees McDougal, Harold Benson, Franklin Cobb, Herman Harbin, James Brooks, I,D. Broadwell, Horace Hammonds, Abe Hudson, Leslie Sharp, Charles Davis, Joe Plunkett, Paul Jones, Jimmy Robinson, Thomas Britton, and Benny Berry.
