NORTH LAMPASAS BAPTIST CHURCH

1917--1924, 1939--1946

 

The North Lampasas Baptist Church at McGirk participated twice in the Hamilton County Baptist Association. The first occasion was from before 1917 through 1924, while the second occasion was from 1939 through 1946. McGirk Baptist Church was admitted to the Hamilton County Baptist Association on 22 August, 1939. Samuel Marshall "Sam" Drake was pastor of McGirk Baptist Church in 1939 and M. E. Williams was church clerk. It appears that the McGirk Baptist Church was later known as the North Lampasas Baptist Church because Samuel Marshall "Sam" Drake was pastor and M. E. Williams was church clerk of the North Lampasas Baptist Church in 1940. While the North Lampasas Baptist Church participated in the Hamilton County Baptist Association for several years, there is no record of its being admitted into the association. Both churches were at McGirk which is seventeen miles southwest of Hamilton.

(May have used the name McGirk Baptist Church intermittently from 1919 until 1939) 

 

Oak Grove Baptist Church (<1878--1884) was also at McGirk. In 1942, North Lampasas Baptist Church was meeting in a school building in later years and did not report owning any property.
