History

Members of the McNeil Creek community, led by Rev. B.F. Dixon of the San Marcos Baptist Association, met on June 30, 1888, to organize this congregation, electing R.W. King as clerk for the next 22 years. Samuel McCarley donated two acres in 1896, and a sanctuary was completed that year; the name was shortened to McNeil Baptist Church in 1908. A new building replaced the original in 1947, and the Texas Historical Commission marked the church in 1988.
