The Hillwood Baptist Church was organized August 21, 1947 in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Haywood.  It was organized by six ministers;  Reverend S.E. Logan, Reverend I.N. Nolan, Reverend W.T. Watts, Reverend H.M. McCowen, Reverend R.S. Corbin, and Reverend A. Griffin, all of whom are deceased.  Assembled with these ministers were three other persons with letters from the New Zion Baptist Church, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for the purpose of organizing this as a church, namely,  Wilbert Mosely (deceased) his wife; Mary Lou Mosley and Odessa Griffin,  These letters were read and a motion was made that this organization be perfected upon these three.    Reverened A. Griffin was presented as pastor.  Invitation was extended and four were taken into the church;  Jessie Haywood, Elizabeth Haywood, Vernita Carter, and Faylese West.   It was decided that the name of the church should be known as Hillwood Baptist Church. Reverend Griffin resigned in 1948.  On October 4, 1948 Reverend Powell was called to pastor the church.  Reverend Powell resigned in 1949.  In February 1950, Reverend E. Jessie was called to pastor.  He resigned in 1955.  In March 1956, Rev. O.B. Burrough was called to pastor.  He accepted and recently celebrated 51 years as pastor.  Under Pastor Burrough's leadership, the Lord has called fourteen men into the ministry and several deacons were ordained.  Also under Pastor Burrough's leadership, the pulpit staff was increased to include an Assistant Pastor.  Rev. Charles Henderson was elected to this position three years ago. Rev. Henderson has since resigned this position.  Pastor Burrough retired from the position of pastor on June 8, 2008, after 52 years of service. On March 21, 2010 Hillwood called Rev. Larry D. Hooks, II to serve as our fifth senior pastor. Our church is a member of the Central District Association and the General Missionary Baptist Convention of Oklahoma, which is affiliated with the National Missionary Baptist Convention of America, Inc.
