Baptists practice believer's baptism by full immersion. Baptist congregations often went to rivers, lakes and seashore to baptize believers before many of the churches installed baptismal tanks in their sanctuaries

These 2004 photos show the exterior and interior of the Midgic Baptist Church.

The Midgic Church was organized in 1859 when a group of members received their "letters of dismissal" from the Beulah Congregation. The "Letter of Dismission" stated that the member was in good standing in the "dismissing" church and was free to join the "receiving" church.

Rockport Baptist Church

This picture is of an outdoor service held in the church yard during the late 1930's. The building was never wired for electricity so the use of a public address system depended upon battery power. Two of the men on the platform were Rev. Henri Lanctin Sr. and Licentiate Dollard.

Rockport Baptist Church was organized in 1875. By 1883, when it was reported to have 31 members, it was a separate church not dependent on the pastor of the Middle Sackville Church. However, by 1936 it became a part of the extended field served by the pastor of the Middle Sackville Church. The last known service was held in 1950 and the building was demolished in 1956.

Mission and outreach takes many forms such as:

There are many references to the pastor conducting worship services in Coles Island. There is a map of the Coles Island area that indicates a school and a church lot. Rather than actual building lots they may have been parcels of land set aside for the purpose of gathering a hay crop that was sold and the proceeds given for the support of the local school or church.

The picture is of the CBC Radio International broadcast towers located on the land that used to be occupied by the tiny community of Coles Island which is on the Tantamar Marsh just outside Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada.

Another example of using the sale of crops harvested to support the local work of Christian ministry was found at Mount View (Beech Hill). The members planted a bushell of potatoes and gave the proceeds to missions.
