Holly Springs Baptist Church

Holly Springs Baptist Church

The Bluff Springs Baptist and Philadelphia Baptist churches, both established near here by post-Civil War immigrants, merged in 1903 to form the Holly springs Baptist Church of Christ; the Rev. B.H. Sims served as its first pastor. The congregation joined the Liberty Baptist Association in 1903 and built its first sanctuary here, on land donated by Mrs. Harriet Coffman, sometime prior to 1916. A new sanctuary, built here in 1928, was the site of the association’s 1929 and 1957 annual meetings. The church, known as a training g ground for young ministers, continues to serve the local community. –Historical Marker
