Mills Chapel (1893)

Early church records burned years ago, making details of the first five years sketchy at best.  However, a history listing no author or sources lists the following men as pastors of Mills Chapel (not listed under Mills Chapel Baptist Church below).

Harvey Haines

A. Jackson

Laton A. Reese

Dan Carter

The church's name is believed to represent the cotton mill workers for whom the church was built.
