First Baptist Church

In 1894, the Reverend Monroe F. Jackson came to Malakoff and founded this congregation, naming it Good Hope Baptist Church. That same year, church trustees Sam Robinson, Monroe Porter, and Governor Wilson acquired land at this site for a church building. Over the years, members of the Good Hope fellowship sponsored the founding of several other churches in western Henderson County, including Antioch and Macedonia. The current name was chosen after Good Hope merged with Mount Olive Baptist Church in 1939.
