Sand Hill Missionary Baptist Church was organized in 1857. Its first sanctuary, made of logs, stood near the still-present old well. Early members included a number of Coffee County’s prominent citizens who are buried in the cemetery, including William Dent, Daniel Gaskins, Sr., Franklin Ward, and Thomas H. Dent. In 1875, the church became the founding location of the Smyrna Baptist Association, now comprised of thirty-nine churches. The existing sanctuary was constructed circa 1905, and the Sunday School rooms were moved onto the site and attached to the sanctuary in 1954.
