It arose from a Maybole prayer group started in 1898 that was admitted to the Baptist Union of Scotland in 1901.[1] The church building opened in 1914.[2] It has operated for over a hundred years, one of 164 active Baptist churches in Scotland in the early twenty-first century serving 14,000 members.[3][4][5] The church building features red sandstone, a traditional gable with projected front porch and arched doorway. Designed by architect Hugh Campbell (1863-1926)[6] of Glasgow it is a recognized noteworthy building in Maybole and the wider Carrick area of southern Scotland.[7][8] The church grounds feature minimal space due to a small plot size.[9] Maybole town, within which the church is located, is also noted for distinctive architecture.[10][11][12] GeographyMaybole Baptist Church is located at 14 Carrick Street, Maybole, Scotland, KA19 7DN. Carrick Street lies immediately north of the A77 road which passes through Maybole. The church's National Grid Reference (NGR) is NS 29880 09900,[13] Canmore ID is 203792 and Site ID is NS20NE 60.[14] The church is marked on Google maps[15] and UK streetmap.[16][17] The church is 2 km from the Maybole railway station. The nearest active Baptist churches are Ayr Baptist Church at 15 km distance, Thomas Coates Memorial Baptist Church[18] at 68 km, and Hillhead Baptist Church[19] in the west end of Glasgow, a distance of 72 km. History19th century It is estimated new Christian congregations in Scotland increased from a handful mid-nineteenth century to 184 assemblies in southern Scotland by 1900.[20] Maybole was part of this trend. The setting for a Maybole Baptist Church further benefited from the new Baptist Union for Scotland, formed in 1869,[21][22] the "Maybole Revival," an evangelist movement during the 1870s, which also published "The Maybole Evangelist" magazine,[23] a new Maybole Presbyterian Church opened in 1880,[24] a Baptist Theological College established in Glasgow in the 1890s,[25] and flourishing missionary work in the expanding British Empire.[26] Nineteenth century industrialization also impacted Maybole, with the town seeing much new manufacturing of agricultural implements and shoes.[27] This was significant because Baptist churches in Scotland attracted commercially active and middle class congregations.[28][29] Some Maybole worshippers were also less open to the strict doctrine of older Maybole churches, for example the Church of Scotland stress on avoiding work on Sundays.[30][31] Early 20th century Great War (1914–18) Maybole Baptist Church opened on 30 October 1914, two months after the Great War started, eleven years after construction started. It was described as "The Youngest Church in Maybole" with seating for 320 and standing room for 120.[35] Construction cost £1,720, on a self-funding basis by the congregation. As comparison, the nearby Maybole Library was built in the same decade for £2,500, based on one donation from American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.[36][37] Even though the church's first pastor, Thomas Ramsay, and other elders made personal donations Maybole Baptist Church carried debt for some time. The retiring first pastor made a further gift of a manse in 1919, citing the Great War as motivation.[38] Interwar era (1918-1939) During and after the Great War, members of Maybole Baptist Church supported a "daughter church" in Girvan, 19 km to the south. This emerged from a Girvan prayer group, established in 1907.[39][40] The Girvan Baptist Church opened in 1920, closed in 2001 and was destroyed by fire in 2013.[41] The inaugural pastor of Maybole Baptist Church, Thomas Ramsay, was elected President of the Baptist Union of Scotland in 1921.[42] Maybole Baptist Church installed electricity within the church building in 1935, which is marked by a memorial plaque.[43] The registered congregation numbered 105 in the 1930s, a high point, after which congregations declined, in line with Scotland-wide declines in Baptist congregations.[44] Post World War 2 (1945 - )Up to the 1950s, Maybole Baptist Church admitted 404 people to the Baptist Union, and up to the 1960s, it baptized 288 people.[45] Although congregations declined from the 1930s peak some modest increase in attendance at Baptist churches within Scotland happened in the late 20th century.[46] Current useMaybole Baptist Church remains active in the early twenty-first century. Activities include regular Christian services and community use of the church building,[47] registered charity status with the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (number SC021239),[48] participating in Remembrance Sunday services held each 11 November, and participating in the annual gala of the Maybole Council of Churches.[49][50] References1. ^{{cite book|url=http://www.landmarkbaptist.org/documents/History_of_the_Baptists_in_Scottland_George_Yuille.pdf|title=History of the Baptists in Scotland (From Pre-Reformation Times)|date=2005|publisher=The Baptist Standard Bearer, Inc.|isbn=|edition=|location=Arkansas, USA|page=|pages=223–224|quote=In November, 1898, evangelistic services [in Maybole] were conducted by Mr. Thomas Ramsay in the Methodist Chapel, which had just closed...[Maybole Baptist Church] was admitted into the Union in October, 1901, at the Session held in Paisley.
