Our Story

Sharon Baptist Church was organized on May 16, 1884. The name then given it was Link’s Chapel. It was first a brush arbor located about one- half mile west of its present location. In the spring of 1903, services were held in a new building which was located about three -fourths of a mile east of its present location. This building was a one room wooden structure that was 28 x 40 ft. At this time, the name was changed to Sharon in honor of an old Baptist church by this name which stood at Iron Station, approximately two miles south of the present site. During the years, the church has been served my many pastors.

Since its organization with 15 charter members, 8 males and 7 females, the membership has always been rather small. However, this church has been honored by the Lord in many ways, especially in having many of it’s members called into the ministry.

During the pastorate of Rev. B.C. Beal, plans were discussed to move the church building to the Dellinger Graveyard, and the land was negotiated for. In February of 1956, the church building was moved to the site of the Dellinger Graveyard; Sunday school rooms were added in the spring of 1957 to frame a tee, to the one room sanctuary. An automatic coal heating system was installed and the entire building was underpinned the same year.

In January of 1960, an acre of land was purchased adjacent to the church property, and in October of that year, construction was begun on a six room parsonage with a full basement. Rev. James Newman, pastor at that time, moved his family into this new parsonage on Dec. 20,1960.

In April of 1965, the church accepted as a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Will Perkins, one acre of land adjoining the church property and then purchased three more acres. This is the site of a new sanctuary. The new church was started in the early part of 1968.

The building committee in the new sanctuary was Kenneth Shull, Will Scronce, Guy Perkins, Fred Riddle, guided by Pastor Rev. J.D. McAllister. The first service in the new sanctuary was a baptismal service held on May 24, 1970. Eight people were baptized into the Lord’s service. On Oct. 5, 1970 the church began holding its regular worship services in the new sanctuary. Dedication services were held on Sunday, Nov. 29, 1970. Dedication messages by two former pastors, Rev. S.M. Stroupe and Rev. James Newman.

Since that time, more additions have been made to the church. A new church cemetery has been plotted, and air conditioning unit added, the paving of a church parking lot, carpet added to the educational building, the nursery was remolded, the hallway painted in the educational building, and a new Fellowship hall.

Our current Pastor is Rev. David Walker. Rev. David Walker is such a Godly man. He never fails to call if you are sick, or pay you a visit in the hospital and pray with you. He has a heart of gold and is sincere and honest. He is a authentic and excellent example of what a Pastor should be. He is a true man of God and we are so blessed to have him at Sharon Baptist.
