A congregation in the railroad town of Glidden grew out of a community church that began meeting as early as 1895. In 1906, the Glidden Missionary Baptist Church in Christ was formally organized, and members called their first pastor, Oscar Ferrell, the following year. During the early years, baptisms were held in the Colorado River or in the pits at the railroad roundhouse. Known now as Glidden Baptist Church, the fellowship has played an important role in the community's growth and development.
