Scott Church and its congregation grew from a Sunday school started in Blackbird in 1886. By 1898, the church was incorporated and a site for it was purchased. Construction began in 1899, and the church was dedicated on Sunday, September 17, 1899. It was completed and furnished at a cost of $1,050. Scott Church was named after Cantwells Bridge native Levi Scott, a bishop and circuit rider. After serving the community and its congregation for more than 100 years, its final regular service was held on June 29, 2003. To restore and preserve the site, Elizabeth McCain purchased the property in 2013.
