On January 27, 2002 Deer Creek Baptist Church celebrated its 100-year anniversary. In 1902, while Oklahoma was still a territory, the first service of Deer Creek Missionary Baptist Church was held. The new Church received its constitution from the State of Oklahoma in 1907 while under the pastorate of D. Whitson. Deer Creek formed a relationship with the Friendship Association, which is now known as the Pottawatomie-Lincoln Baptist Association. The church maintains its close relationship with the Pottawatomie-Lincoln Association to this day.
