E.A. Evans was the pastor of the Galilee Baptist Church. Rev. S.T. Alexander was elected Moderator of the Galilee Association and Mrs. Carrie P. Hines was elected President of the Woman's Convention of the Galilee Baptist District Woman's Convention. The Griggs Memorial Baptist District Association was organized August, 1929 at the Hopewell Baptist Church in Denison, Texas. Rev. R.M. Gilbert was the pastor of Hopewell Baptist Church. The Griggs Memorial Association was given its name in honor of Dr. A.R. Griggs who pastured the Hopewell Baptist Church for many. Rev. M.B. Bilbrew was elected Moderator of the Griggs Memorial Baptist District Association. Mrs. Pinkie Dillard was elected President of the Woman's Convention of the Griggs Memorial District Woman's Convention.
