Our HISTORY

1947

On June 10, 1947 God led a small group of like-minded believers to start a new Church in the Dixiana area. Beginning with a tent revival at a spot near the present Church site, God brought Dixiana Baptist Church into existence. Names appearing as charter members in the proceedings of the early Church include those of Gaskins, Howell, Lee, Raines, Platt, Spires, and Vining. There were 20 charter members and Rev. M.E. Kyzer was called to become the first pastor. A building was soon erected and is still in use today as a fellowship hall and classrooms.

1997

Pastor Chris Platt was ordained in 1997 as associate pastor. He also served as the youth pastor until 2001 when he was called to be the senior pastor. During his first couple of years of ministry he worked on and received a B.A. in pastoral ministries. and a Master of Divinity degree, from Columbia International University. The Lord has blessed his ministry at Dixiana, and the church has grown steadily reaching families all throughout the community.
