Brother Melvin Schupp, supported by his beloved wife Bernice Hicks Schupp, pastored Old Rock Baptist Church for many years. He has preserved much of that church’s history in binders filled with images, stories, and documents. Melvin share his beloved church with members of the Somerset Historical Society at their September, 2019, meeting.
Brother Melvin Schupp, with wife Bernice, holds a copy of a picture he painted of Old Rick Baptist Church. This wonderful old building is still home to a vibrant congregation. Melvin, a pastor to several Baptist congregations around central and south Texas, painted similar “portraits” of his churches as well as portraits of neighboring churches of other denominations.
