About Us:
Octavia Baptist Church was organized in Aug., 1905 before Oklahoma became a state. Octavia Baptist Church has had Ed and family as Pastor, teacher, and friend since October, 1983.  Ed says he can always remember his first time preaching as pastor because it was Halloween.

Since then, the church has experienced exceptional growth, considering the rural area it serves.  It has moved from it's first church site in downtown Octavia, about 1 1/2 miles west of Hwy. 259 to 17 acres on the corner of Hwys. 259 and 144.

The church building will comfortably seat 260 people, and uncomfotably, probably another 30 or 40.  When we've had exceptionally large attendances at funerals or other gatherings, chairs have been added in the aisles and in the foyer to accomodate the visitors.

The old church building was moved from the property in Octavia proper to the new property on the highway, after the new chuch facilities were built in 1991 - 92.  It was remodeled, later added to, and serves as the Fellowhship Hall.  It not only serves our church but oftentimes the community for birthday parties, family reunions, weddings, and so on.

Our church motto is "Connecting People to God".   As you can see from some of the other pages on this web site, we are involved in youth ministry, children's ministry, missions, as well as many other ministries as the need arises.
