Meadow Grove Baptist Church was organized in 1942. Twelve people who had professed faith in Christ in a revival meeting at this place, joined Shiloh Baptist Church. After being baptized, they were granted letters of dismissal to organize a church. A presbytery of ordained Ministers from sister churches was called to organize the church. Rev. John Stansberry served as Moderator and Rev. R. B. Ledford as Clerk. After prayer, the Articles of Faith were read to the members and were accepted. After the presbytery gave the members a thorough examination, they pronounced themselves an independent body and called the church, Meadow Grove Baptist Church. The church called Rev. O. G. Rogers for its first pastor. This being done on the 29th day of September 1942. Mr. Brack Burrell gave land to build a church building. It was to be used solely as a Baptist Church.
