Church Information

Crystal Springs Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist congregation located at 941 Highway 48 East in the Dexter community of Walthall County, Mississippi. Since its founding in 1892, our church has sought to faithfully proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, make disciples, and serve our community.

The church was established by three brothers, Charlie, Thomas, and Billy Pigott, on land donated by Elisha Magee. In November 1893, Rev. W. W. Schillings preached the first sermon to the fifty charter members of Crystal Springs Baptist Church, and Bro. C. L. Corkern was selected as the church's first pastor. For more than 130 years, God has faithfully blessed our congregation as we have ministered to generations of families throughout our community.
