On this Lord’s day a group of those who were members of the first Baptist Church of Roxboro, NC having secured their letters, met at Long’s Store for the organization of a Baptist Church Missionary in faith and Order.  On motion, Rev. Clyde Sullivan was elected moderator.  On motion, Brother Bryant Long was elected church clerk.  The church in conference called Rev. Clyde E. Sullivan as its pastor.  Brothers William Solomon and Jessie Clayton were elected deacons with Brother Bryant as ex. Officer.  Member Miss Ethel Clayton was elected church treasurer.  On motion, the church was named Theresa Baptist Church after Mr. Sullivan’s wife, Theresa. And so began Theresa Baptist Church on May 27, 1934. (taken from the original church minutes)
