On the property already stands a rather unique monument. This monument has a great story to it and how it ended up on this property. The short version is this: an older man and his wife lived in Maine with no good churches around them to go to. They were saved and loved the Lord. By and by Pastor Artie Dean met the couple and saw the monument. This man put in his will that when he died, Bible Baptist Church was to get it. He wanted to leave his impact on the cause of Christ and being a blacksmith he made this monument to the Word of God - the King James Bible.
The monument weighs over 17,000 pounds and its foundation goes a little over four feet into the ground. Pastor Dean said that on average several people a week stop to look at it and read what is on it. I took these pictures on our first visit back in 2010 and I hope you enjoy it. These are just a few of the pictures I took.
