- description
- This digitized microfilm consists of a single volume of minutes from Lufty Baptist Church. This volume also contains the Articles of Faith and Articles of Decorum from when the church was founded in 1836. Later versions of these articles can also be found in this volume under the name "Duties of Church Members" as well as "Rules of Decorum" and "Bylaws." The minutes deal with the period from 1836 to 1895, giving an account of the church's meetings as recorded by the church clerk. These meetings were generally held on the Saturday preceding the fourth Sunday of the month and often dealt with obtaining contributions for church projects as well as ensuring adherence to the rules. Membership lists for 1874, 1886, 1894, and 1895 can also be found in this volume. These minutes suggest that the church devoted a great deal of energy to ensuring proper conduct.
