True Vine Missionary
Baptist Church
This church was organized in 1894 by founders Antey Graham, Beney Graham,
Samuel Graham, Will Hill, and Ben Wilson and became a member of the Kingston
Lake Association. The first sanctuary, a frame building, was built about
1913 and located near what is now S.C. Hwy. 90; it was later on Burroughs
Road.
Rev. Patrick Dewitt, Rev. Solomon Chestnut, Rev. A.T. Graham, and Rev. H.H.
Wilson were among the earliest pastors serving True Vine Missionary Baptist
Church. IN 1943 the old sanctuary was moved to this site by a team of
mules. The present brick sanctuary, the second serving this congregation,
was built in 1971. ~ text of marker
