London Baptist Church traces its history to 1856. By 1857, church members shared meeting facilities with the Odd Fellows Lodge in a jointly owned building on the stagecoach route from Henderson to Waco. The structure was destroyed by fire in 1877. In 1897, a new building was constructed near the same location. When oil was discovered in the area in 1930, London became a boom town and the church prospered as well. Throughout its history, London Baptist Church has served the community with a variety of worship, educational, and outreach programs.
