our history
In 1954, Dr. J. Chester Badgett and the Missions Committee of Campbellsville Baptist Church began missions work in rural areas of Taylor County. With the consolidation of one-room schools, the church began using some of the old school buildings as mission churches.
A tent revival was eventually held at Raikes Hill, with Dr. Badgett preaching. Brother Jeremiah Cox would come to serve as the Sunday School Superintendent and lay preacher. After resigning in 1955, E.S. Woosley became the Sunday School Superintendent, with numerous members of the Campbellsville Baptist Missions Committee members serving the church in leading Sunday School and aiding the Vacation Bible School program.
Shortly after its founding (around 1955), the schoolhouse at Raikes Hill and over one acre of land was purchased for $345 by Dr. W.B. Atkinson and the committee.
