Buffalo Lick Baptist Church was organized
on July 30, 1888. With twenty-four charter
members the church was to have
quarter-time preaching and Sunday School
each Sunday that weather permitted.
The late Rufus and Jane Overby had
donated two acres of their homestead on
which the church was to be created. In
1889 a one room frame building was built.
To this structure four educational rooms
were added in 1947, and by 1952 two more
additions - one to the front and one to the
rear of the building, had been completed.
To accommodate a growing membership, a
new church building was erected in That
building continues to serve the Buffalo Lick
congregation.
By 1945 services had increased to half-time
with Sunday School each Sunday year-round.
A Training Union and a Women's Missionary
Union were also organized that year.
For a number of years, Buffalo Lick Baptist
Church has had a full-time pastor with services
being held each Sunday morning, Sunday
evening, and a mid-week Bible Study on
Wednesday.
