Harris Creek Baptist Church
Worship services of the Harris Creek Baptist Church were held for a time in the home of Aquilla and Delila Jones. In 1872 the couple gave this 1.6-acre site for construction of a church and schoolhouse and for a cemetery. In 1879 the fellowship joined Leon River Baptist Association and later Waco Baptist Association. In 1928 after a period of growth a new sanctuary was erected during the pastorate of the Rev. Kermit Melugin. A methodist congregation shared the facility from 1932 until 1960. A new brick auditorium was dedicated in 1977.
