Belden Baptist Church

4121 McCullough Boulevard
662-842-6341

History:

One of the first large hurdles that BBC faced was in 1917 when the first building was destroyed by wind. It was rebuilt in 1922 and remained until it was replaced by a brick building in 1945. In March, 1949, that building was destroyed, but this time it was by a tornado. In June, 1949, the first services were held in the new building. After that our building was damaged in April, 1956, by another tornado, but we never missed a service. Belden School allowed us to conduct services in their facilities until we could get the damage repaired. In November, 1962, 4 acres were purchased up the hill from our then location and in November, 1963, construction was set to begin on a new building. After facing financial difficulties and lots of hardships it was decided to salvage the old building and incorporate it in the new building. Designing the new one with this in mind; that the men of the Church do such work as they could, construction finally began. On May 17, 1964, the first services were held in this new building and we completed our first major building project.

Goal :

The goal of BBC is to introduce people to Jesus Christ.  The Christian faith is all about a personal relationship with Christ.  This faith is not knowing about God, but is about knowing God.  Our desire is to help you get to know God and grow in your personal relationship with Him.
