Mathis
Chapel Baptist Church |
|
1786 Mathis Chapel Road
Catawba, North Carolina 28609 |
|
Organized: 03 Mar 1951 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mathis Chapel Baptist Church has been an important part of
Eastern-Catawba County rural life since it was organized on 03
Mar 1951. The church didn't originate from any other
church. It was organized by a group of concerned citizens
from Catawba County. At the first prayer meeting, they
discussed the need for a Baptist church in the area. |
|
It wasn't long after the first prayer meeting that final plans
were made for the church structure. Mr. Hob Edwards, of
Catawba, donated land for the purpose of building the church and
for the establishment of the graveyard. Part of the timber
used for the construction of the original church building was
donated by Mr. J. Fred Mathis, from whom the church derived its
name - Mathis Chapel. The first pastor was the Reverend
Carl Keever of Lincolnton. Charter membership totaled
thirty-nine members. |
|
In the beginning, the church building consisted of only a
Sanctuary. This Sanctuary served not only as a place of
worship and sermons, but was also used for Sunday School.
The congregation would split into groups within the Sanctuary to
conduct their Sunday School lessons. |
|
|
|
Eventually six Sunday School classrooms were added. The
church had no restrooms and functioned with a single
"outhouse". Members had to park their cars around the old
church, on the grass. |
|
|
|
The following
digital drawing of the old church building is created from the
best of my memory in February 2014. It includes six Sunday
School classes, the raised podium area in the sanctuary with two
sets of choir benches, main sanctuary area with benches, piano
and communion table, as well as the entrance foyer and two
storage rooms. It is NOT drawn to scale. |

The need for a larger building and more parking was discussed at an August
meeting in 1961. The land for the new church and parking
lot was donated by Mr. Bill Kirksey of Catawba. |
|
Plans were drawn up for a 34' x 64' (34 ft. by 64 ft.) structure
to be built on a concrete floor. It was supported by 2" x
6" x 10' (2 inch by 6 inch by 10 ft.) stud walls which supported
a bark-shaped roof inside. Outside the building was of
brick and frame with a front porch. The cost of the church
was only $10,000. |
|
The church was constructed by Russell Hildebran and his workers. The new
church as completed and the first worship service in the new
building was held in September 1962 |
|
At this point, membership for the church totaled 150 members.
the old church building, which sat nearby, was used for about
five or six years as the Sunday School building. |

On March 5, 1967, the congregation approached Pastor Alvin Hoyle
and the Deacons requesting that new Sunday School rooms be
added. Plans were brought before the congregation and it
was decided on April 2, 1967, that nine new classrooms be built.
The total floor space for these nine rooms was to measure 30' x
72'. |

The old church building was eventually disassembled and a larger
parking lot was built on the spot where the old church sat. |
|
A tombstone now sits atop the hill housing a Memorial for Annie
D. Guin and the dates when the old church and the new church
were established. (Old Church: March 1951, New Church:
September 1962) |

In 1975 a steeple was added which can be seen from high points
of the immediate area. |
|
A fund was established in 1986 for the purpose of building a
fellowship hall. This room would be used for all types of
meetings and gatherings, especially for Homecoming Day, which is
held on the first Sunday in September. |
|
Homecoming Day in September 1986 was called "Old-Fashioned Day".
Members arrived, along with their families and friends, dressed
in the garb of "olden times". They wore overalls, long
dresses, bonnets, and the typical clothing of long ago.
The congregation invited all former pastors of which five
attended. |
|
Before his death, the church's first preacher, Carl Keever,
requested to be buried in the Mathis Chapel Baptist Church
Cemetery after his death. The church agreed and set aside
a burial plot for him and his wife. |
