New Richland Baptist Church - Brinker, TX - Baptist Churches on Waymarking.com

A Texas Historical Marker in the adjacent Richland Cemetery provides mostly cemetery history, but it does reference the original Richland Baptist Church's establishment in 1872:

Unmarked graves here may date to 1872, the year the Richland Baptist Church bought the site and the Richland School was established here. The earliest marked grave dates to 1878; two earlier ones, dated 1873 and 1876, are reinterments. Many veterans, including more than a dozen of the Civil War, are buried here. The Richland Cemetery Society maintained the graveyard from 1922 to 1962, when the Richland Cemetery Association formed. Although the school and original church are gone, the site now provides an enduring link to the area's early history.

A note on the Richland Cemetery entry at Findagrave indicates that the church has been through several incarnations: Richland Baptist Church, Brinker Community Church, The Bride, and New Richland Baptist Church.
