There is no doubt in our minds that we can build a Holy Ghost-Led community of loving relationships where we daily love, follow and model Jesus.
Like most Negro churches of the late 1800's, Baconton answered the need of former slaves to "pick and choose their praying ground." In 1869, God moved upon the hearts of the Reverend W.M. Quarterman, Deacons Julius Rogers, Joe Howell, P.M McIver, Flanders Pray and Will Bacon, along with 35 members and they planted this church. The Church continues to stand at the crossroads of Dunlevie and Talmadge Roads today reminding travelers that Jesus is the Way.

Baptists pressed harder than anyone for religious liberty in America, and the freedom every other congregation on this map enjoys is partly what they won.
