Camps Creek Baptist Church was organized on August 22, 1822 as an outgrowth of Buffalo Baptist Church, with 37 charter members and with Elder B. Berryman Hicks as its first pastor. In that year it was admitted into the Broad River Association during its annual session held at Mount Zion Church. In 1894, Camps Creek Baptist Church joined the Sandy Run Association. In October of 2000 the church became affiliated with what is now the Greater Cleveland County Baptist Association.
Camps Creek has met in 4 different church buildings through the years: the first building when the church was organized, the second beginning in 1870, the third beginning in 1914, and the present building beginning in 1959.
To date, 62 pastors have served at Camps Creek. The current pastor, Reverend Stephen Durham, began his second tenure here in August of 2021.
The Lord has richly blessed the church from its founding until the present time, through its inspirational worship services, music, youth ministry, mission organizations, Sunday School, discipleship training, and outreach ministry, all of which have experienced strong physical and spiritual growth in recent years. We look forward to the future with great expectation, knowing that our God will do all that He has promised. May we be faithful to the task of serving Him as His people.
I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.” - Psalm 122:1
