Ellis Chapel Baptist Church

ECBC was established in 1889 under the leadership of Rev. A. Ellis. In November 1966

the church was destroyed by fire. Immediately after the fire, rebuilding

plans began to surface for the rebuilding of the church. However, all members were not in favor

of rebuilding in the same location, they wanted to purchase land in the Holy Oak Park

community. Since a consensus could not be reached, the church suffered a split in 1967. A group left ECBC and built New Ellis Chapel Baptist Church, which is still in existence today. After the naming of New Ellis, ECBC became Old Ellis Chapel Baptist Church until 1989, ECBC changed

its name back to the original name, Ellis Chapel Baptist Church.
