The goal of the Historical C01n1nittee of the First Baptist Church in Clarks Grove was to write a history of our church that is as factual as possible and the 1nost com­plete history that has been put together for our church. The history is taken fro1n the church clerks' 1ninutes and occasionally frmn the annual reports as they were written. In some cases you will note that we have added a comment of our thoughts and these are in parenthesis.
