1954 - Much time was spent in prayer and fasting as George Colby led the founding of the church. The original name of the church was "The Bible Baptist Church of Paris, Maine." The first pastor of the church was Pastor Walter Wood. The church building had not yet been built, so the first service took place on July 4th in George Colby's garage. The church wasted no time in supporting missions by giving 10% of the church's income in support of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Milonas. The church also reached out to the local community with its first Vacation Bible School headed by Lucy Mae Branch.
