About

Providence Baptist Church (PBC) was established in 1841.

​

Prior to the church's establishment, John Echols was given a land grant for serving in the Republic of Texas' army. This land included the early settlement of the Providence Community.

​

The church's first building was made of logs and was under the leadership of James A. Prewett, its first deacon, meeting three-four times per year plus homecoming.

​

Homecoming is still a important to PBC, with current and former church members, families of church members and people who just simply love the church returning to worship together and fellowship with one another.

​

The church is built upon the word "providence" -- meaning "divine guidance or care," which is shown in the history of the church.

​

The church currently meets on Sunday morning for worship services and Sunday School and Sunday evenings for Bible study.
