Holt's Baptist Church was organized on December 21, 1924. The
name Holt's came from the original land owner, Mr. Holt. On December
21, 1924, a body of nine members met together at Holt's School House
and organized the church. Those nine members were: George McDaniel,
John McDaniel, James Noe, Ben Morgan, Laura Noe, Laura McDaniel, Eva
McDaniel, Nancy McDaniel, and Virdie McDaniel.
In
1979, a new sanctuary was built. On November 18, 1979, the
congregation met in the old sanctuary and had prayer. The congregation
then marched into the new sanctuary and held the rest of the church
services.
On Sunday, March 24, 1984, a note
burning was held signifying the final payment on the new church.
Following the note burning, the church gathered on the altar and
offered a dedication prayer to God.
In 1997, a
building expansion program was undertaken with an addition to the
sanctuary, a new library, a new sound room, additional Sunday School
rooms, and an extra parking area. The building program was completed
in 1998.
