St Matthews Baptist Church

This church was founded in 1870 with

Rev. Plenty Pinckney as its first

minister and worshipped in a "bush

tent" nearby until a log church was

built a few years later. A new frame

church was built on this site in the

1890's during the pastorate of Rev.

C.L. Lawton. The present sanctuary

was built in 1960 during the tenure

of Rev. R.M. Youmans, who served

here for more than 35 years.
