The Civil War had ended the previous year when parishioners from two Flowery Branch churches sat together and discussed the merging of their respective parishes. One year later, in 1867, Union Baptist Church was born. Nearly a century-and-a-half later, the 146-year-old church remains where it was founded, approximately five miles from Flowery Branch’s revitalized historic main street.
Union Baptist congregation has a long familial history that continues today
