HAMILTON BAPTIST ASSOCIATION (HBA)
HAMILTON COUNTY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION (HBCA)
Constituted: 07/04/1877

 

Approximately one hundred churches have been a part of Hamilton Baptist Association (HBA) originally named Hamilton County (TX) Baptist Association (HCBA) since its founding on 4 July, 1877.

The title page of the 1878 minutes of Hamilton County Baptist Association which met September 7, 1878, with the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church bears the title "Minutes of the SECOND Annual Session of the Hamilton County Baptist Association." Minutes of the first session of the Hamilton Baptist Association in October, 1877, have been lost--if they were published.

The first report in Minutes of Annual Associations meetings about the establishment of Hamilton County Baptist Association occurred in 1898 in the Sunday School report given at the Annual Session held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church at Pearl.

"Your committee on Sunday Schools begs leave to make the following report: 

Since the organization of the Hamilton County Association at Cottonwood Springs near the town of Evant on July 4, 1877, we have watched with interest the progress of the Sunday School work. Much has been done in the past, but a vast deal needs yet to be done to establish Sunday Schools where there are none, and to make more effective those now in existence. ... ..."

Respectfully submitted,

J. C. Rodgers

J. C. Rodgers of Hico was clerk of HCBA in 1899, 1900, 1901, and 1903.

Cottonwood Springs which is the more frequently identified site of the organizational meeting for Hamilton County Baptist Association was located on the east side of the Lampasas River and west of the current Fairview Baptist Church. It was near where Hwy. 84 crosses the Lampasas River.

Dr. Donavon Duncan Tidwell, historian of Hamilton County Baptists, recorded the founding date as July 4, 1877.

"There was some discussion of forming an association in Hamilton County in the fall of 1876 but since Brother Noah Turner Byars was the only ordained Baptist minister residing in the county at that time it was thought best to postpone the matter until the following summer. Accordingly on July 4, 1877, representatives from either seven or nine churches (accounts vary) met at Cottonwood Springs a mile and a half from Evant, and organized the Hamilton County Baptist Association. Rev. Noah Turner Byars presided over the convention as president and Rev. D. I. Haralson served as secretary. Brother Byars stated that since the devil did so much work on the Fourth of July that he thought it would be well to do some work for the Lord that day!

 REV. NOAH TURNER BYARS


"Minutes of the organization convention and the first annual session are not available but the following churches apparently were  represented at the Cottonwood Spring convention: 

     Bennett Creek (now Center City in Mills County)
     Coryell
     Cottage Hill
     Friendship
     New Providence
     Pleasant Valley and  
     Sweet Home (now FBC, Evant). 


"Three churches of the Leon River Association were also represented but did not enter into the formation of Hamilton County Association as letters of dismission were granted them on August 12, 1877, from the Leon River Association. These three churches, Hamilton, Leon and Plum Creek, affiliated with the Hamilton County association when it met with the Plum Creek Church in its first annual session beginning on Friday, October 12, 1877..."

According to the Dr. Tidwell's History of Baptist in Erath County [TX] the first ordained Baptist minister to live in Hamilton County was Isaac Reed, who came to Hamilton County in 1860. In 1861 Reed was involved in the organization of Mt. Zion Baptist Church at the Honey Creek Trading Post--Old Hico. Rev. A. D. Maroney and L. D. Stringer of the Leon River Baptist Association assisted in the organization and ordained Reed who became the first pastor of Mount Zion. Isaac Reed participated in Indian fights, had limited education, was a fluent speaker, and a good preacher.

Churches which apparently petitioned for membership at the first annual session in 1877 included:

     Hamilton
    Jonesboro
      Leon
      Plum Creek

Seven new churches were added in 1878

Hills Dale      (organized by Joseph Alexander Land)
Little Cow House      (organized by D. W. White)
     
Mt. Pisgah     (organized by Joseph Alexander Land)

REV. JOSEPH ALEXANDER LAND

Dr. Tidwell, native of Hamilton County, pastored churches in Hamilton County during his early years before he became a Bible professor at Howard Payne College in Brownwood, TX.

According to all accounts the first annual session was in the Fall of 1877.

"Texas Baptist History, The Journal of The Texas Baptist Historical Society, Vol. V, 1985, recorded the date of the founding of Hamilton County Baptist Association as 4 July, 1877, being the fifty-sixth Baptist Association formed in the state of Texas. (P. 99)

Stephen Anderson Rains was elected missionary for the Hamilton County Baptist Association in 1898.
