Mussellfork Church

Mussellfork Community Church served the town of Mussellfork (Alternative spellings include Musselfork and Mussel Fork). Mussellfork began as a trading post in the 1870's and became an official township in 1877. It eventually grew to contain general stores, drugstores, churches, a grist mill and more.

Mussellfork Community Church was constructed in 1899 as Mussellfork Union Church.  According to an MBCPathway web article: "Since qualified pastors of various denominations were in short supply, it was common for a community to construct a “union church,” where each denomination took a certain Sunday of the month and scheduled their circuit rider to come in. The first week was the Baptist week, the second Methodist and the third Pentecostal Holiness. The fourth or fifth Sunday was up for grabs depending on who could schedule a preacher. No one is sure of its exact denominational history, but it officially disbanded in the late 1960s."

There were attempts after the 1960s to use the church as a non-denominational church, but those attempts were short lived.  

In 2006, Rick Hall, along with the Missouri Baptist Convention, Mt. Pleasant, Mt. Zion, Monroe Baptist Association and several sponsoring churches, started a church plant at the historic church.  The Church is still active today and is part of the Southern Baptist Convention, pastored by Rick Hall. There is a small number of weekly attendees. It has been renovated and modernized on the inside, though outside they have kept the church in its original look as much as possible.   

If anyone has any information about this church, I would appreciate if you would leave a comment or send me a message.  
I'll update this blog post as I find more information on the church.
