CHURCH HISTORY
Walnut Grove Baptist Church was established at Cornelius Spring in 1856. In the spring of 1866 a number of pioneer settlers met in the vicinity of the present Walnut Grove Community to organize a missionary baptist church. The first church was a small frame building with seven windows, two on each side and one behind the pulpit and one on either side of the front entrance. All of the furnishings were hand made. There was a row of long benches on each side, with a single aisle down the center.
