Oakland Baptist ChurchIn the tiny unincorporated community of Roans Prairie, Texas, with a population of less than 60, you will find, if you look hard enough, Oakland Baptist Church. The church was organized in 1854 and the first pastor was George W. Baines, great grandfather of President Lyndon Baines Johnson. (Ref. Texas Historic Commission) This building is the perfect example of an early 19th century Baptist church. Just a plain white rectangle, clad with white clapboard planks, and a corrugated tin roof. You can almost hear the bell along side the church calling the congregation to worship. These old churches are precious and I am glad that many are being preserved and cared for.
