     Baptist worship services were held as early as the 1850s in a building known as Allen's Chapel on the homestead of early pioneer George W. Smyth (1803-1866). The Beech Grove community grew up northwest of Smyth's land, and a school and church building was erected in 1875, the year this church was formally organized. The building burned in 1893, and the Allen's Chapel building was moved and used until 1901, when a new sanctuary was completed at this site. Two later structures were built, in 1950 and 1968. Baptisms were held in Sandy Creek until 1957. Texas Sesquicentennial 1836 - 1986
