Ephesus Primitive Baptist Church in Red Lick, Mississippi – History

I couldn’t find much information about the church. One of my local contacts is a church historian and is currently researching, documenting, and writing a book about the churches in the area.

The Ephesus Primitive Baptist Church was first ogranized in 1893 and rebuilt in 1961. According to a local source there are only small number people still part of the church.

She mentioned that there have been several different churches over the years and the most current church is the brick one you see in the pictures. However, this isn’t the original location. Its original  location is “way back in the woods and is no longer there.

“The second building was a wooden church across the street and down a ways.” It was moved to the road and converted to a house at some point. It eventually burned.

About the Images

The church and cemetery was shot mid afternoon by hand with my Sony a6000 and the Sony 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 OSS Power Zoom Lens. I then used Adobe Lightroom, and Google Nik Collection to remove noise and clean up the images.
