The Auburn Baptist Church was founded in 1836 in Richland County, Ohio, with services held in a log cabin. In 1840 the land on which the church stood became part of Auburn Township, Crawford County, Ohio. A second building was constructed on the site of the original log cabin, and according to church minutes the first service was conducted in the new building in January 1880. That building was still in existence, and the church still active, as of January 2001.

As of January 2001 this collection consisted of three record books 1836 - 1995 containing church membership rolls and minutes. According to church minutes, church records 1936 - 1955 were lost when a fire destroyed the clerk's house in 1954.

This introduction was prepared by John McWatters in January 2001.
