HistoryThe Baptist congregation was founded in 1844 and met in the home of pioneer David Thomas Lenox until 1853, when he donated {{convert|2|acre|m2}} of his land for a church and cemetery.[3][4][5] The one-story, Classical Revival style building was built of hand-sawn lumber on what is now West Union Road for a little over $1,500.[1][6] The 30- by {{convert|40|ft|m|adj=on}} structure has cedar rafters, fir joists and sills of hand-hewn fir logs.[5] On December 25, 1853, the building was dedicated by the Reverend Ezra Fisher.[6] It is the oldest Baptist society and the oldest Protestant church building still standing west of the Rocky Mountains.[3][5] Pioneers Caleb Wilkens and George W. Ebbert are buried at the cemetery,[4] which is the oldest cemetery in the state.[3] The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and is currently maintained by the American Baptist Churches of Oregon.[7] Previously the otherwise unused building was the site of an annual memorial meeting, but the church now holds regular Sunday services.[8] See also
