History of Red Oak Baptist Church, Doles, Ga. Worth County, Georgia.Red Oak Baptist Church was founded November 5, 1864. Mike Champion gave the land for the Red Oak Baptist Church to be built upon. The church got its name because of the large Red Oak trees on this plot. The first church was made from hewn logs. It was 30 feet wide and 40 feet long. The hurch does not have the records when the second church was built, because of a fire in the clerk's home many ol records are gone forever. But the second church was a frame building with shutters for doors and windows and it had no ceiling. One service per month on the first Sunday was held then. The present church is the third one and it was built in 1890. The charter members include the BROWN family, as well as mention of DOWNS family; and many more surnames, Hobby, etc. Luerana Brown was a Charter Member. The church house was built near the southeast corner of Lot of Land # 90; in the 16th District of Worth County, Ga. Red Oak Baptist Church had had thirty-four pastors through the years. The cemetery has two parts; one enclosed in the fence and the second part next to the Creek that runs nearby for those families who had sharecroppers, etc. There were in the past both black and white church members attending this church. The first black members in 1855 (8) of them (this was before the Civil War). The first lights for the church were kereosene lamps, then in 1910 gas lights were added, and then 1940 the church added electricity. Red Oak Baptist Church celebrated its 100th Year Anniversary October 31, 1954.CEMETERY RECORDS:(this record is the best that could be obtained.
