HISTORY:

Beaverdam Baptist Church

By Frances Holden Mays

In 1803, fourteen years after Washington was chosen President, Beaverdam Baptist Church was organized. Thus, our glorious history begins almost at the beginning of the history of our nation. It began as an arm of the Hepsibah Church with fewer than twenty members but became an independent body in 1816.

Originally, Beaverdam was in Tugalo Association which, at that time, included part of Georgia. About 1881, the Beaverdam Association was organized, Beaverdam Church becoming the Mother Church of the Association.

From the founding of the church until 1915, services were held only once a month. For the next twenty-four years, South Union Baptist Church and Beaverdam shared the same pastor. In 1939, a pastorium was purchased and Reverend Glenn Bolch became the first full-time resident pastor. Sunday School was not organized until 1880 with Thompson Grubbs as the first superintendent. Benjamin McGee donated six acres of land that is the present church site. Eighteen acres were purchased later and have been made into cemetery burial lots. The first building was erected in 1818, built of logs. A new church was built in 1859 and remodeled in 1893 when a steeple was added and a bell installed. Two steeples and wings were added in 1927. The original hand-hewn timbers put together with pegs were used in the project.

Plans to build the present colonial design sanctuary were made. The new 101-feet long, 45-feet wide housing, 4,545 square feet, seating 400 persons including balcony, plus 25 choir seats was built. The new sanctuary was dedicated in 1971.

Not all can be told in figures, dates and facts; but down through one hundred eighty-eight years of our history, men, women, boys, and girls have been touched, lifted, and blessed, and set into paths of service by those whose hearts, minds, and efforts established and propagated the faith through Beaverdam Baptist Church.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF BEAVERDAM

--Author Unknown

In 1803, only fourteen years after Washington was chosen President of the United States, Beaverdam Baptist Church was organized. Thus our glorious history begins almost at the beginning of our nation. Beaverdam began as an arm of the Hepsibah Church with fewer than twenty members, and became an independent body in 1816.

The first church building was located directly in front of the Willis Grubbs (now the Richard Grubbs) home and back of the present Edwin Richardson home.

Reverend George vandiver was chosen as first pastor in 1805, L. Alien as Deacon, N. Graham as clerk. Members present at the constitution of the church were: George Vandiver, John Cleveland, Francis callaway, John M. Grey. Since the first pastor some forty Ministers have occupied the sacred desk.

Orginally Beaverdam church was in the Tugaloo Association which at that time included part of Georgia. About 1881 Beaverdam Baptist Church became the Mother church of the Beaverdam Baptist Association.

The colored brethern were well provided for in the services of the early church and were considered a part of the congregation until 1872. At the close of the war the church was remodeled and the part previously used for slaves converted into a Sunday School room.

From the founding of the church until 1915 services were held once a month. For the next twenty-four years South Union Baptist Church and Beaverdam shared the same pastor. In 1939 a pastorium was purchased and Reverend Glenn Bolch became the first full-time pastor. That house was sold in 1960 and the present pastorium valued at $30,000 and located on the Seneca Highway was occupied by Reverend Grady Price in 1960.

Sunday School was organized in 1880 with Tompson Grubbs as the first superintendent.

The present church site 1s located on six acres of land donated by Benjamin McGee and his wife. in 1967 Beaverdam purchased eighteen acres of joining farm land from J. S. Glymph. It is expected that this tract may become a memorial cemetery in the future.

The first building was erected about 1818, and was built of logs. A new church was built in 1859 and remodeled in 1893 when a steeple was added and bell installed. The two smaller steeples and wings were added in 1927. The original hand-hewn timbers, put together with pegs, are still in the present structure.

A need arose for expanded educational space to meet the needs of the church community, in 1955 construction of the first phase of a long range building program began. The first to be erected was an educational building which houses four departments with twenty-three classrooms, a library, pastor's study, two nursery rooms, a kitchen and full basement. A space was provided in this first structure to attach the soon-to-be erected colonial-styled sanctuary with a steeple to reach eighty-five feet high.

The membership has grown from less than twenty to almost three hundred. Beaverdam now has a graded Sunday School, Training Union, W. M. U. and Brotherhood and related youth organizations. There are two functioning choirs involving more than forty people. Family night is held one Wednesday night each month for all the organizations. The first Sunday in August 1969 was Sunday school's highest attendance day in recent years with 164 present.

Not all can be told in dates, facts and figures because down through the one hundred sixty six years of our history men and women, boys and girls have been touched, lifted, blessed and set into paths of service by those hearts, minds and efforts established and propagated the faith through Beaverdam Baptist Church. Beaverdam is a gift of God to this generation through the religious pioneers of its past. it is a proper reflection of their faith. It presents a noble challenge to the future. May it interpret to all the meaning of life through hope in Christ.

GRAVES & BURIALS

 
 
--------
NOTE: 
--------
 

There are (3) cemetery areas that are located in-between the C7 Beaverdam Baptist Church and the C69 Fair Play Presbyterian Church. It appears that at one time, these cemeteries were shared by the two churches. However, recent burials have been made in separate areas - in back of the Fair Play Presbyterian and on the east side of the Beaverdam Baptist Church. BOTH church cemetery locations should be searched.

It has been discovered that during the construction of the I-85 Welcome Center on the west side of Oconee County, 138 graves were moved to this cemetery on 22-Apr-1988.
