Cadiz Baptist Church
On FM Road 799 Northwest of BeeviIIeThis congregation, originally known as Lapara Baptist Church, was organized on Aug. 12, 1877, by 32
charter members. Services were held under a brush arbor and in a schoolhouse before a sanctuary was erected on Lapara
Creek. The building was moved here in 1920, and the church was renamed for the Cadiz settlement. The facility later was
enlarged to accommodate the growing church. In 1960 the congregation won the Rural Church of the Year award. In recent
years the church has aided disaster victims and supported ministerial students and Christian crusades.
