Little Sandy Ridge Presbyterian Church was established in 1833.
This blog post by Bill Chambers relates that the church was established by his ancestors, and that his grandmother had the original handwritten charter document. The current church buildings were constructed in the early 1900s. The pastor of this church is Rev. Joseph V. Carmichael.
