History:
In the mid 1800's there were creek-side brush arbor prayer meetings at Garner's Hill. They soon moved inland and built a meeting house: Carter's Creek Church. Denominational membership was maintained in distant churches of each particular persuasion.

By the late 1800's the Presbyterians had formed the Campbell Memorial Church, and the Methodist had built a fine new building.

The present sanctuary was dedicated January 8, 1891, as the Carter's Creek Baptist Church. In 1895 when we formally organized the church we chartered as the Irvington Baptist Church.

During the 1920's the front portico was added to the church. In the 1930's stained glass windows were installed and a baptistry completed. The balcony was also added for classroom space and worship attendance overflow. In the 1940's we built a rear addition.
