History of Cane Creek Baptist Church

Cane Creek Baptist Church is one of the older churches in North Carolina dating back over 215 years. Recently, a compilation of rememberances, pictures, articles, and other documentation was made into a history of Cane Creek Baptist Church. This will be fascinating reading for not only folks who've lived here for years, but also for newcomers. This is being turned into a book. You can take a look at the book as it's compiled. We're putting the draft chapters on-line as they are available. Enjoy!

Here is what we have available:

• A brief history of Cane Creek Church (PDF File).
• Chapter 7 - The origin of the Church at Cane Creek(Draft).

We also are developing a number of historical sketches. These include:

Thomas Cate - Our First Preacher Original Trustees Four and a Half New Preachers Stephen Pleasant Crawford Farm Nash Cheek - Personal Histories David Fanning - The Battle of Kirk's Farm The Battle of Kirk's Farm, Part 2 2000+ Names on the Church Roll Anderson Cates

Please send any additions you'd like to make to the history to webmaster@canecreek.org and it will be sent to the right people.

One thing we've found is that many people find us on the web as part of their search for long lost relatives. Those doing such searches might like to look through the Church Membership Roll.

Here is the most recent version of the Roll starting at letter 'A'; you'll notice that the names are separated by the first letter of their last name. To best understand the notations and comments on the roll, please refer to this guide.

Please send any additions or corrections you'd like to make to the roll to webmaster@canecreek.org and it will be sent to the right people.
