Mount Sinai Methodist Church, one-half mile south, was the home church of the Undenominational Singing Convention, later called the Interdenominational Colored Signing Convention. Formed by 1895, the Convention held annual meetings mostly at local Methodist and Baptist churches and other sites in this part of Anderson County. Tradition holds the Convention sang using shape notes, a notational system common in communal sacred music. Officers and song leaders typically gathered at Mount Sinai to plan the annual meetings and conduct teacher training and rehearsals. The Convention remained active until disbanding in the 2010s.
