List Members Bark Camp Baptist Church is a very old Baptist Church located a mile or so north of Midville. Following is a brief history of the ministers and the charter members of the church. This is typed from an article appearing in Georgia Genealogical Magazine in 1981, pages 100 - 107 and submitted by Mrs. Robert L. Green. As time permits, I will type and submit some of the earlier membership lists from this church. At the end of the article a note states "The minutes of this church and the membership lists are to be found on microfilm at hte Georgia Department of Archives and History, drawer 35, reel 79." Don't know if they're still there or not but Georgia Baptist records are archived at Mercer University in Macon. Their website lists their holdings.
