Wall Chapel: A Story of Love for the Lord
Wall Chapel Missionary Baptist Church of Marianna, AR (Holub Crossing) was organized with Bro. W. D. McCoy as pastor in April 1925. The church met once a month on the second Sunday for both the morning and the evening services. The original meeting place was an old school. This location was used for the church until she moved to her current location. The school was renovated to allow for use as a church worship facility and was eventually torn down when a new sanctuary was dedicated in July 1964. Charter members were: Sis. Loudran Garland, Bro. & Sis. R. L. Little, Sis. Gertude Key, Bro. J. M. Moye, Bro. & Sis. J. E. West, Bro. & Sis. J. L. West, Sis. W. T. Yarbrough, Sis. Bertha Anthony (by baptism)
The church petitioned the Mt. Vernon Association for membership in October 1925 and was graciously received. The church has been in fellowship with this association ever since, as well as the Arkansas Association of Missionary Baptists and the American Baptist Association.
The following have served as deacons over the church's history:
