Mount Carmel Baptist Church

For moments let us go back, back in time to the year 1869 to a small town called Keans Neck, South Carolina. A group of recently freed slaves gather under the clear blue skies amid the moss-laden trees. The worshippers kneel on the velvet like grass and pray to God Almighty. They sing hymns accompanied by chirping birds and they read scriptures on a cathedral created by the hands of God. From this simple beginning evolved the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church of Dale, South Carolina.
