Organized in the Sugar Hill community in 1866, the Liberty Missionary Baptist Church was accepted
into the Mt. Zion Baptist Association in 1868. A new building was erected east of the original church and school in
1897. In 1927 the church had 68 members, and by 1945 the congregation reached a record 159. In 1949 and 1950 the church
joined the Baptist Missionary Association on regional, state, and national levels; weekly worship services began in
1952. An expanded modern facility replaced earlier structures in 1991. The Liberty Missionary Baptist Church continues a
proud tradition of religious worship and community outreach. (1998)
