The Middle Florida Baptist Association was formed at Macedonia Church on November 9, 1900, by a group of churches formerly in The Florida Association. Reverend J.T. Farnell was the first moderator, and J.L. Rutherford the first clerk. Carl W. Burnett, a layman from Macedonia, served as associational clerk for 46 years following 1921. The association dignified the layman in God's work, gave early encouragement to The Ladies' Missionary Societies, fostered cooperation among the churches, and sought to glorify God. Macedonia Church was established in 1859 as a mission of Pine Grove Church and first met in a log building near the southwest corner of the cemetery. Its charter members were Manning J. and Cynthia Williams, Henderson M. and Mary Frier, Elias and Emoline Pert, Georgia Ann Hudson, and Sarah Cornett, with assisting elders Ryan and Henderson Frier. It sponsored the organization of Faith Church in 1964.
