Prairie Valley Baptist Church - Prairie Valley, TX - Country Churches on Waymarking.com

While the church has a website, there is no history to be found, besides a photo of one of their previous sanctuary buildings. A 1972 Texas Historical Marker across the road, in front of the Prairie Valley Cemetery, provides some community history:

In former Waco Indian region. First land grants were to Elisha Dennis, Manuel Madrigal, and Dr. Levi Jones, physician to Stephen F. Austin, the Father of Texas.
