Dry Ridge Baptist

The Dry Ridge Baptist Church was organized on July 12th, 1817.

With "helps" from Baptist Ministers Benjamin Lambert, Samuel Simpson, and William Davis, the Dry Ridge Baptist Church was organized out of the "Old Baptist Church on the Dry Ridge.” For several years, the new congregation shared the same building as the "Old Church," and kept separate church minutes. Over time, however, the Dry Ridge Baptist Church moved to a new location, where it currently exists today.

The original location of the church, as well as the "Old Church on the Dry Ridge," sat at the entrance of Conrad Lane, near the Cemetery behind Quick Lube Plus. The Church building was likely constructed at that location because it was near "Campbell's Block House," which was also the first meeting place of the Old Church.
