Church Record Book from Harris County Covering the Years 1828–1915 Now Available Online in the Digital Library of Georgia

A record book covering the years between 1828-1915 of the Sardis Church of Christ is now available in the Digital Library of Georgia (DLG). The Sardis Church of Christ, associated with the Primitive Baptist Church, was one of the first churches to be established in Harris County, in west-central Georgia. This resource belongs to the Chipley Historical Center of Pine Mountain GA, and has been made available online thanks in part to the DLG's Competitive Digitization grant program, a funding opportunity intended to broaden DLG partner participation for statewide historic digitization projects. For the most part, the Sardis Baptist Church of Christ records follow a predictable format of when a meeting was held, who preached at the meeting, and that an invitation was given. The records also contain names of those that joined by declaration or by letter, and those that left by their own choice.
