Burial Location: Sugar Valley Baptist Church Cemetery Sugar Valley, Gordon County, Georgia Survey Started: June 6,1998 Survey Completed: July 14,1998 Historical Information about the Church: Sugar Valley Baptist Church was started in a one-room mud-chinked log structure when the area was first being settled in 1831. It was originally named Snake Creek Baptist after the Snake Creek Militia district for which it served. In 1843 the name was changed to New Providence Baptist and led by the Rev. Zechariah Gordon and had 69 members. In 1868, four acres was purchased from Joseph Barrett for a cemetery, with the provision that no more graves be dug behind the Church. In 1870-1871 the name of the Church was changed to Sugar Valley Baptist Church. Since that time the church has grown to a membership of 275 with an average Sunday School attendance of 130 and continues to be an integral part of the community.
