Missionary Baptist Church
The Missionary Baptist Church in Cades Cove was formed around 1839. It was founded by members from Cades Cove Baptist Church that were dismissed over an argument over missions. The present building was built in 1915. The members continued using this site for about ten years after the parks establishment. One of the highlights of the church was in 1893 when a well known evangelist, Rev. Thomas Sexton, led a revival. The congregation nearly doubled in size as a result. This was one of the biggest events ever in the Cove…The Church in located along the Cades Cove Loop Road, Great Smoky Mountains
Missionary Baptist Church belongs to the following groups:

Steven the Smokies is a unique park as they try to preserve the way of life of those that lived there in the1800’s as well as the plants and animals
