The History of Parrans Chapel

• The 1^st gathering of believers happened before 1888.  The history books tell of a group of people gathering at “Brush Arbor” on the land the current building sets on.

• The 1^st day that Parrans Chapel opened its doors was on 3^rd Sunday of September, 1888.

• A one room building on the current property and the church would meet every 4^th Sunday in the days.

• In the early 1960’s, the church did not even have its own baptistry.  So, they used Clear Creek, Kearney’s Mill Pond, Hammons Pond, or the pond in front of the church.

• Not until the mid-1960’s was the current church building began.  The east wing where the fellowship hall sits now was added in 1976.

• The church has a long history of service to the people of Hardeman County as well as missions to people all over the world.
