Feeling the need for a Baptist witness in Vernal, the Roosevelt Baptist church set up a large tent, and started a revival meeting on November 10, 1946.  Rev R.E. Cure did the preaching and Harold Dillman led the singing.  It was under this tent that the First Baptist Church of Vernal was organized on November 22, 1946.  The church had sixteen charter members and was the second Southern Baptist church organized in Utah.
