History:

The Little Mount Baptist Church was organized on August 21, 1801 with 35 organizing members, who came from a as far away as Rivals on the north to Little Beech Creek on the south. The first location was on a ridge off Snake Run or the present Little Mount Church Road. The log structure was used for forty years before the church was moved to its second location a mile to the north. This brick structure was used from 1840 to 1897, when a third building was constructed across the road. The present building, located on Highway 44 East in Little Mount was completed in1954. It was constructed of Bedford stone and bricks from the old church. The beautiful stained glass window's in the balcony, the brick bulletin board out front were donated by church members and families along with most of the labor.

Little Mount Baptist Church has a rich and colorful history, faithfully recorded in minutes dating back to its inception. Preachers were uneducated members of the community licensed "to exercise their talent in publik". Brother Stephen Ashby was the first pastor. They were not paid, lest their congregations would mistrust them. Members were usually generous in providing for their needs. Later, the church began to provide a salary. From the time of the patorarate of Brother B.F. Hungerford (1861-65, 1878-87), whose diary provided a detailed and insightful account of the church, Little Mount pastors have been men with advanced education.
