Mid-1800s: A few Christian men recognized the need for a central place of worship for the rural residents of Mitchell and Colquitt counties. Land was donated and the building of a church, which still stands strong in the community today, was started. The builders labored intently until the last board was in place. The church, which is nestled on a knoll is partially surrounded by a panoramic view of big, beautiful pine trees and the church cemetery. Located across the highway is a spring that supplied cool water during the 1800’s and early 1900’s. Very appropriately, the church was named Cool Springs Baptist Church.Cool Springs Baptist Church, founded in 1854 and constituted in 1856, continues its proud heritage and stands as a pillar in the community. After 75 years of dedicated service to our Lord and the community, our church was the first to be chartered in the Mallary Association on December 29, 1883. Today, we are apart of the Tucker Association.
The early 1960’s were eventful in church history. An annex for socials and other church related events was built in 1960. In 1962, the men of our church accomplished another milestone.
