Biblical Baptist Church was founded in 1976 by its current pastor, Gary Myers. While Pastor Myers was attending Bible College in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada, the Lord dealt with him about starting an independent Baptist Church in the Meshoppen area. He and his wife, Janet, came to Pennsylvania to answer the call of God upon their lives.
The first Sunday services were held on November 21, 1976, in the Keiserville Community Center, near Meshoppen. The church grew slowly over the years, purchasing eight acres of land in Meshoppen Township in January, 1993. In September of 1993, we began renting a vacant church building on Allen Street, Meshoppen, and met there while beginning construction on the newly acquired property which the Lord had so graciously provided for us. God continued to direct and to provide in marvelous ways as the building project progressed.
Our first Sunday services in our new 38’ x 90’ building were on February 8, 1998. We have been holding all of our regular service and activities in the new building since that date. We are thankful to God for this facility which has greatly enhanced the carrying out of our ministry.
