History
| Celebrating 150 Years of History! |
 We've been a "Light at the Corner of Third and Vine" since 1852. Hudson was in its infancy when American Baptist missionaries came and gathered our church out of the wilderness - with just 11 members and a lot of prayer.  Our sanctuary was built in 1866, the parsonage in 1884, he church annex in 1890, the new church addition in 1982, and our youth and administrative building, "The Crossing Point," was acquired in 1987. Our oldest treasure is the historic Jardine pipe organ, one of the rarest in the nation, installed here in 1872, after a  long trip from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.We corporate with Christian churches in the area through Vacation Bible School, the Hudson Area Ministerial Association, and the Spirit in the Park music festival held each August. We care about our history, but the future excites us even more; the  new people God is sending, the fresh vision He is giving; the deepening spiritual life and purpose. We are expecting great things from God. And God is answering!While not highly structured, we are guided by our Cabinet, Diaconite, Trustees, and Christian Education Boards and Missions Committee. People may join by transfer of letter from another congregation, by statement of a Christian faith experience, and/or by baptism.  |
