For over 150 years, the Tanglewood Baptist Church has been a committed and faithful servant of the greater Ripley County community. The imprint left by the decades of faithful members and attendees of this congregation is immeasurable, with ties to families all throughout the country and abroad. Christian values, servant leadership, and faithful giving have made this local church a truly resilient influence in our area. The consistent and overwhelming generosity of Tanglewood’s members and supporters has never faltered. The tithing that so many families and individuals have faithfully committed over the years is truly remarkable. Due to this unique and wonderful blessing, current members and church leadership agreed more needed to be done to not only serve the community from a financial perspective but preserve the legacy of Tanglewood in perpetuity. Henceforth, Tanglewood Baptist Legacy Fund was formed.
