Organized as Sage Chapel in 1875,this congregation moved its one-room frame sanctuary two miles east to the new town of Eddy in 1882. The church building also servedas a schoolhouse for the community, and the local Methodist congregation shared the facility until new Baptist sanctuary was dedicated on April 28, 1912, after two previous structures were destroyed by fire. This church has grown with the city of Eddy and continues to serve the community. |
