History of Willow Hills Baptist Church
Under sponsorship of the First Baptist church of Phoenix, a Southern Baptist mission was started in a store front building inPrescott, on January 14, 1946. The church moved to the corner of E. Gurley and Virginia Streets it met for about 50 years. That facility was expanded several times until the need for a larger building led to the decision to sell. The congregation met a the Prescott Middle School while the new buildings were constructed at the site above the intersection of Willow Lake and Willow Creek Roads.
The first service in the new facility was held January 11, 1998. The First Southern Baptist Church became known as Willow Hills Baptist Church due to its moving to the Willow Hills subdivision area. Willow Hills has been connected to the Southern Baptist Convention since its inception.
The Church voted to build a Family Life Center, construction to be started in 2003. The new building was completed in March, 2005. Adult Bible Study and Youth Sunday School as well as sports activities are now being held in the new Family Life Center.
