Gober Baptist Church

Marker Text:

This congregation was organized on August 4, 1889, by the Rev. S. P. Clement and twelve charter members.  Early worship services were held in the one-room Gober schoolhouse and in a brush arbor.  In 1893 a sanctuary, the first church structure built in Gober, was completed on land donated by Mr. and Mrs. James Eads.  It was replaced by a two-story frame building in 1924, which was in turn replaced by a new structure at this site in 1953.   Throughout its history Gober Baptist Church has been involved in domestic and foreign missions support and activities.

Location:  .3 miles west on FM 68 from the intersection of FM 271 and FM 68 in Gober.
