Interesting that you should refer to the building as a church house. Few people recognize the significance of that. The church is the people, the congregation, the building is just that, a roof for the church to gather under. ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

Church House I would call the PARSONAGE from the churches of the past . A Parsonage was there as living quarters for the Pastor or Spiritual Leader of Congregation . Many times as part of compensation for serving . ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel. |

Thursday_01-January-2026 http://www.welfarebaptist.com/about.html" rel="nofollow -  Established in 1831, this church and building was originally located in the Half Acre community on Lily Creek. In the early 1900's, the building was moved to it's current location; to appreciate the difficulty in this, you should familiarize yourself with the location, narrow crooked roads, and steep terrain of Lily Creek on Half Acre Road; there is no good way in or out of there. If I am not mistaken, between the weatherboard exterior and solid wood interior panelling, the actual structure of this church is a log building; in which case, they probably just numbered the logs, disassembled the building, moved the logs, and put it all back together; if you doubt the log construction, go there and take notice of how thick the walls are. The Sunday school rooms annex on the rear was added in the 1940's; the original 1940s Sunday School rooms did not exceed the width of the main building as they do now. Up until the mid-1980s, this church was surrounded on three sides by thick Beech woods for a couple hundred yards in each direction; within twenty feet of the back wall; within sixty feet of the North wall; and, the South corner of Airport Road was big timber right up to the corner. On the South side, that is now naked black-top parking, were a grove of big shade trees; I don't see a tree or a bush on the property now. Widening and straightening US Hwy 127 took away a lot of the front yard and put the edge of the road and sidewalk almost in the front door.
