History:
Around 1906, J. D. Tant, better known as The Texas Preacher, moved to the Macon area. He had a large farm in Williston, just east of Macon. Bro. Tant was a well-known and very gifted preacher of the pure, New Testament gospel. Today, the congregation still survives, even though it is small in number, it remains sound in doctrine.
