                        1916    MT. ARARAT BAPTIST CHURCH     1932

     At the eighty fourth annual session of the Bethel Baptist Association 
which was held with the Fort Gaines Baptist Church, October 24th, 25th, and 
26th, 1916 a petitionary letter from Mt. Ararat was presented to the 
Association for membership and the committee appointed to report on the letter 
reported favorably to its reception and on motion the church was admitted to 
membership.  The Moderator extended the right hand of fellowship to its 
messengers.  Bros. E. W. Jones and Dennis Willis and thus Mt. Ararat Baptist 
Church joined the Association.

     During the years 1916, 1917 and 1918 Rev. J. I. Quattlebaum served the 
church as pastor, and H. M. Temples served as Church Clerk.  The total number 
of baptisms during these three years was 38.

     The second pastor was J. W. Martin in 1919 and 1920.  One was added by 
baptism to the church.  G. W. Kenny served the church as clerk to 1923.

     In 1921 J. Houston became pastor for Mt. Ararat and served in that 
capacity for three years.  He received 11 members into the church by baptism.  
H. M. Temples was clerk in 1923 and 1924.  H. T. Temples, Jr. succeeded him in 
1925 and served one year.

In 1924 J. C. Parish became pastor and served until the present time (1932).  
34 members were added by baptism.  J. H. Jones has served as Clerk since 1926 
and is the present clerk of the church.

     The present total membership of Mt. Ararat is 72.
