THE MURRAY WEDDING CHAPEL

The Murray Baptist Church began in 1900 at 4800 South State, one half block west of State Street, at a street now named Poplar. In 1924, the church structure burned to the ground. Two years later, another structure was built which still remains standing today, although it sustained another fire in 1946.
James Payne began as Pastor in 1926 and served in that capacity for 15 years prior to his death. James and his wife came to Murray, Utah from Galesburg and Monmouth, Illinois. Mrs. Payne lived in Murray until 1988, and at age 90 returned to the state of Ohio to be with her son. During the Payne's term as leaders of the Murray Baptist Church, they reached a goal of 87 members.
These members dug a basement with pick and shovel to provide more space for meetings with their growing membership. After outgrowing the building, they sold it to the Oddfellows Lodge #100F. The Oddfellows Lodge then sold it to the Unity Church. The Unity Church used the building until 1986 and then sold it to Murray City. Murray City, with plans to widen Poplar Street, wanted to demolish the church. Hoping to preserve the church and its heritage, Bill and Susan Wright moved the church on October 14, 1987 to its present location on 5th Avenue and Poplar Street to use as a wedding chapel. The Murray Wedding Chapel is on the Murray Historic Register of Historical Structures.
