In the Summary Statistics of the Mineral Springs Baptist Association for 1936 it shows Kimberly as being constituted in 1908. When it says constituted in 1908 that means that Kimberly was meeting a couple of years before it was constituted as Kimberly Church.
Then, in the Summary Table of Mineral Springs Baptist Association for 1939, it shows that Kimberly was constituted in 1911 and this date continues from this date forward. There are three different dates that are being shown within the reports of the Mineral Springs Baptist Association.
