History: Grace Baptist Church was founded on May 2, 1993, in the historic Doddridge Chapel southwest of Centerville, Indiana. After much prayer and waiting on the Lord's leading, GBC purchased the historic John Ellis, Jr., Grocery Store in Greens Fork, Indiana. Grace Baptist held its first service in their new building January 2, 2000. Since that date much remodeling has been done with a desire to have a building that glorifies God, is functional for ministry and is an asset to the community.
Sunday School 9:30 a.m. Minister: Rev. Kevin Shope The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized about 1818. There was preaching at the houses of some of the settlers as early as 1814 and 1815. In the later year the Rev. William Hunt was placed on the Whitewater Circuit, and preached in the township at different times, at the house of James Porter, William Fox, and others who were, a few years later, instrumental in organizing a society. Among the early members were: James Porter, Odell, William Fox, and their wives and Polly Morgan, whose husband had been killed by Indians at Morgan’s Creek. The ministers who were appointed to the Whitewater Circuit held their meeting first, after the residences of the members, at the school house, until the erection of the church. The minister in 1884 was Rev. W. A. Peck. The current location of the church is at the intersection of South Main and Cross Streets on the southwest corner. An earlier location for the church meetings was at the intersection of North Main and Carriage Streets sitting on the northeast corner and is a residential home at present (1998).
