Benson, Pastor St. Paul Baptist Church is located on Highway 59 in the Earles Grove Community. Westminster, South Carolina. The church was organized and erected in 1893 by a few members who decided to leave the Snow Hill Baptist Church. Mr. & Mrs. Pet Stribling donated one and one half acre of land for the church and small school room. Mr. George Scott and Mr. Joseph Sharp gave timber from their farms for the construction of the building. Uncle Jim Singleton, as he was known was the carpenter. Until the church was completed, services were held in the Old Pine Grove schoolhouse. The charter members were George Scott, Joseph Sharper Jim Nimmons, and Adam Hunter. The first pastor was Rev. Richmond Williams, who served for a great many years. The second pastor was Rev. J.A. Watson; deacons were George Scott, Joseph Sharp, T.A. Gideon, J.I. Nimmons; secretary, W.H. Sloan. After Rev. J.A. Watson's pastorate, the church used supply pastors for several years. Rev. T.A. Gideon served.as pastor from 1912 to 1913. For thirty-five years, Rev. C.M. Galloway pastored. After the retirement of Rev. C.M. Galloway, our present pastor, Rev. O.D. Benson was elected. Under his leadership the church has been beautified, including the addition of restrooms and a baptistry. The present deacons of the church are M.C. Earl, K.H. Harrison, Douglas Harbin, L.B. Henderson and William Harrison; secretary, Ottie Simpson. Note: Two deceased brothers, Mose McCauley and Webster McCauley served under Rev. C.M. Galloway and Rev. O.D. Benson.
