6 The “Mother” Church of CBC
“Glade Creek Church” (est. 1829) Log Cabin Church: Webster Road, Blue Ridge 3 Groups: Baptists, Lutherans, and Dunkards (German Baptist Brethren) Baptists: English descent (early 1600s) Lutherans: German descent/Martin Luther’s followers Dunkards: German descent/Anabaptists “Antebellum Era”

7 The Civil War A “Theological Crisis” A Denominational Crisis
Dunkards: Pacifistic (did not believe in fighting wars); sometimes perceived as possible threats for the North. Glade Creek Baptist Church was used as a hospital during the war. A Denominational Crisis Major denominations split into definitive “Northern” and “Southern” groups (example: Southern Baptist Convention; United Methodist Church, South) A Racial Effect Pre-Civil War: Black and white congregations worshiped in the same churches (though black Christians, slave or free, were subjected to sitting in the back). Strawberry Baptist Association = [1865] 2,863 white; 390 black members. [1875] 39 black members (1 in Glade Creek) Post-Civil War: Black and white denominations formed separate denominations/churches.

9 Colonial’s Origins Church Split: “In 1934 a canvas vote was taken to build a new building and the church became [the 2nd] Glade Creek Baptist Church.” Why?

10 Early History First Pastor: G. H. Broyles (until retirement in 1941)—why is this year significant? Second Pastor: Elbert M. Yeatts ( ) Name Change: Glade Creek Baptist changed its name to “Colonial Baptist Church” in 1951 (the other Glade Creek Baptist in Blue Ridge still exists) CBC withdrew from the Strawberry Association in to become an independent Baptist church “Pastor Yeatts provided the church with consistent, solid leadership based on the Word of God. Under his pastorate, the church grew spiritually and physically.” [from CBC’s “History” page]
