Our Church History

 

The Eubank Baptist Church of Eubank, Kentucky is rich in history with collections of stories dated from 1884 when it began not far from the current location to the present where we continue to worship and grow in fellowship together.

According to the first recorded history, in April 1877 the Antioch Baptist Church was organized in the small community of Cuba, Kentucky. Brother W. S. Taylor was the first pastor, John Brewer was appointed deacon and F. H. Singleton was clerk.
 
Due to the growth and lack of future expansion at this location the church saw the need to move on. In the spring of 1992 there was a groundbreaking and construction began on the land that was obtained from the Estate of Barclay Osborne. Construction was completed in December 1992 and the first service held in our current location prior to Christmas.
 

In 1878 a committee was appointed to investigate the idea of selling the church property and moving the church to Eubank. In 1882 a building committee was appointed and deeds were secured for the new church property. Grounds were given by Alex Carman. The new building was erected and the first service was held in the new building the third Saturday in November, 1883. The first Saturday in May, 1884 the church met in regular business and changed the name of the church to Eubank Baptist Church, Eubank, Kentucky.
   
   
In 1937 the church tore down the old building and began to build a new one. The new church took two years to complete. During construction the group of members met in the Eubank School gymnasium. Despite all the hardships the church continued to grow in attendance.
 
In 1984 the church held its 100th Anniversary Celebration and in 2009 the church held its 125th anniversary.
