The church where many of the Low Dutch attended had such a hard time getting a pastor. They kept going to the DRC and someone would come for a short visit, but never to stay. So, the church in Henry Co. became Hardshell Baptist, but followed some of the DRC rules. They were very disheartened that they could not get a DRC pastor.
