Sharon Baptist Church
Sharon Baptist Church was founded in 1799.
The first pastor, Abraham Marshall, who served
the church until his death in 1819, probably
constituted the church. This building, the
second on the site, was erected in 1869. Many
names prominent in Georgia are found in
Sharon Cemetery. Three men, one a Negro,
have been ordained in this church.Two,
W.P. Steed and L.G. Steed, served this church.
Ephraim White, Negro, owned by L.P, Steed
served the Mt. Carmel Negro Church across
the road until his death. Ground for the Mt. Carmel
Church was deeded by Sharon Church.
