On October 3, 1916, a meeting was held with Pastors and Deacons from the Pickens and Secona Baptist Church to investigate the course to organize a church. The newly organized church was given the name "Blue Ridge View Baptist" and Rev. J. G. Stamey was elected pastor. Membership was requested and following appropriate investigation, Blue Ridge View was welcomed into what is now the Pickens Twelve Mile Baptist Association on October 23, 1924. Services were held in the Glassy Mountain Schoolhouse until 1938 when construction of a one-room building
was erected which seated around two hundred people. (https://www.blueridgeviewbaptist.com/) |
