| has gloss | eng: Mt. Olive Baptist Church is a small Baptist country church in Clark County, Kentucky. Its history dates back to 1845 when the Unity Baptist Church and the Indian Creek Baptist Church joined to become the new Mt. Olive Baptist Church. The first church building was built in 1845. The frame construction stood in the same place as the church is today. In the years after its construction the church prospered. The church consisted mainly of three big families, and today there are still members of these families attending the church. It became the cultural center of southern Clark County. Its membership was 172, about five times as high as today. At that time Mt. Olive Baptist Church was the second-largest in the Boone's Creek Association, an association of churches in Clark County and adjacent counties. |
