Continuous religious services have been held on this site since 1844. The first church, built of hand-hewn logs, was erected here, and when the congregation was constituted on February 20, 1847, Cornealus Buey and Sham Peacock were elected elders. The first pastor was Elder Elias Knight. Other charter members were Jonas, Sarah, Penny, and Emily Driggers, John Wester, and James Johnson. One of the oldest marked graves is that of John Roberts, 1778-1854. Since its constitution, the church has been a member of the Suwannee Association of the Primitive Baptist Faith and Order.
