Assessment

Beulah Chapel BIC of Fairplay is one of several Brethren in Christ congregations clustered in Adair County, Kentucky — a regional BIC stronghold that traces back to early 20th-century tent revivals led by southern Ohio BIC preachers. Pastor Cody Willis leads. The rural Kentucky BIC community maintains close fellowship across congregations and provides a meaningful Anabaptist-Pietist-Wesleyan witness in a region otherwise dominated by Southern Baptist and independent Baptist congregations. Yellow rating reflects denominational policy on women in ministry; local male leadership and Anabaptist heritage balance the score.
