David Hobson, director of missions for Mud Creek Baptist Association, said 150 years is “a huge milestone for a ministry, and one worth celebrating.”
So that’s exactly what the association did at their annual meeting Nov. 4 and during a special worship celebration Nov. 7.
“As we look back on the 150-year history that we have had at the Mud Creek Baptist Association, I am thankful to get to stand on the shoulders of the men who came before me, like Ken Maddox, Rod Milam and Martin Ray, to lead this organization,” Hobson said. “We had a great time celebrating and remembering, but I believe the best days of the Mud Creek Baptist Association are not behind us, they are still to come.”
At the annual meeting, Joel Carden, pastor of Quinton Baptist Church, presented the moderator’s address. His church hosted the meeting.
Lonette Berg, executive director of the Alabama Baptist Historical Commission, and Mike Nuss of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions presented plaques to the association.
Bill Kitchens, Mud Creek Baptist Association historian, wrote and presented the association’s history. Scott Dawson preached at the worship celebration, which was hosted by Smithville Baptist Church, Bessemer.
