Organized on April 22, 1837, Antioch Baptist Church began with nineteen original members who worshipped in a small log building until a stone church was erected in 1842. Baptisms were held in the creek behind the church. In 1901, the congregation tore down the stone church because of structural damage and erected the present building. The Women's Missionary Society acquired the adjacent log house in 1926 and deeded it to the church in 1957. In 1962 the church was closed due to a dwindling congregation, but it reopened in 1996. The annual Homecoming Meeting has continued since 1922.
