HISTORY:
The dream of a Southern Baptist Church in the Proctorville – Rome Area began on May 13, 1971 when the Ironton Baptist Chapel surveyed the area. A Vacation Bible School was held on July 12 – 16, 1971 with a revival following during August 18 – 21, 1971. Lamar O’Bryant served as evangelist.  In 1973, with three members, a Bible study was started in the community with Sharon Baptist Church, Ironton as sponsor. In 1975 the work was able to move into a rented building. This new work was then called Fairland Southern Baptist Chapel. In 1977 Sharon Baptist Church purchased the present property on State Route 7 for the mission. The two-story house was remodeled.  The Fairland Southern Baptist Church constituted on June 14, 1981 with 27 members.  In 1990 ground breaking was held for a new educational addition. This was completed in 1996. During 2002 the mortgage was paid off. A steeple was erected on the church in 2004.  The church is in the process of purchasing four lots next to the church for parking and future growth. Fairland Southern Baptist Church has been actively involved in ministry throughout the Proctorville area.
