Rev. Esquire Thomas "S.T." Collier formally of Clay County Alabama, organized a

church building was erected in 1883. Mrs. Nancy Ann Miller donated one acre of 
land for the church. 
The charter members were Richard Eubanks his wife Jane [Walker] Eubanks formally 
of Randolph County Alabama, G.W. Screws his wife Jane Screws, Rev. James D. 
Jordan his wife Harriet Jordan formally of Clay County Alabama and Wm H. 
McCollum his wife Dicy [Strickland] McCollum formally of the Randolph County 
Alabama. 
Rev Jordan was a circuit riding preacher, one of the churches he pastored was 
Hepsabah Baptist church in Cleburne County Alabama. Both Beulah and Hepsabah 
names are from the same verse in the bible: Isaiah 62:4: "No longer will they 
call you deserted, or name your land desolate, but you will be called HEPHZIBAH, 
and your land BEULAH for the lord delighted in thee, and thy land shall be 
married". Rev. Jordan pastored Beulah Baptist church from 1882-1885.
