Long ago in a small community formerly called Pacific, a church began in a log schoolhouse. It was 1880 and Pacific had become Youngsville just five years earlier. Mr. John (Jack) Young, Jr. had purchased 302 acres of land in the Southwest corner of Franklin County. In 1875, he gave a tract of land for a new train depot and the community was incorporated as the Town of Youngsville, named after Mr. Young. Mr. Young recommended that a church be built in the community as well.

The Biblical Recorder dated May 12, 1880 stated that Rev. C. A. Jenkins organized a church in Youngsville. He was the first preacher but was called to Oxford Baptist in September of 1880. The first building, a frame structure was built in 1880 and dedicated in 1881. A windstorm destroyed this building in 1900. From 1900-1902, services were held in the Christian Church which is now the Youngsville Museum. A second frame building was constructed and dedicated in 1906 and used from 1902-1926. The current building was renovated and rebuilt in 1926 and dedicated in 1934.

On November 25, 1882, a deed was registered for the property where the church is currently located. A description of the property read as follows: “Beginning at a rock on the said road, thence north 1 degree. Past 12 poles to a rock. Thence south, 1/2 degree west 12P, 16 links to a rock on said road (Hillsboro and Tarboro Road). Thence south 86 degrees west with road 12P. 17.1, Containing 1A, more or less.” (It was not unusual at that time to register the deed after the building was finished.)
