Redlands Church traces its history to 1873, when a small group of worshipers gathered at Chinquapin Springs one mile east to build a community church. A small one-room log structure was completed on August 16, 1873, and was used by both Methodist and Baptist congregations. Pioneer settler Hugh Blair donated land at this site for church and school purposes, and the log church at Chinquapin Springs was relocated here and used as a Union church and school. The Baptist and Methodist congregations continued to share the facility. Blair donated an adjoining acre of land in 1887, and a new frame sanctuary was built. The Baptist congregation stopped using the Union Church in 1906 when it moved to the Oak Flat community and built a new church, now known as Smyrna Missionary Baptist Church. After 1906 the Union Church was known as Redlands Church and was occupied solely by the Methodist congregation. The Methodist congregation disbanded in 1964, and Redlands Church was purchased at auction by a group of former members. The building is maintained by a board of trustees and is used for special services such as memorials, funerals, and weddings.
