The Presbytery of Union Association of General baptists, composed of Elder T.A.H. Laslie, Deacon Guy Settle and Deacon I.J. Malin, met in the Presbyterian Church in the town of Livermore, McLean county, Kentucky, on Tuesday evening, November 18, 1913, and after preaching by Elder T.A.H. Laslie, they proceeded to organize a General Baptist Church.
Elder Laslie was elected pastor and the following were received as charter members: Mary Atherton, Annie Malin, Viola Coin, Maggie Woodward, Lula M. Coin, verna Chapman, Josie Collins, Alice Eastes, Mary Lucy malin, C.C. Malin, Hugh A. Malin, Minnie Nalley, I.J. Malin, W.G. Davis, E.A. Nalley, G.A. Coin, J.P. Taylor, G.V. Hicks, David Lee.
The new organization worshipped in the Presbyterian church building for a number of years, later moving their services to the Union Church building. In 1914, the General Baptist people purchased a lot on Hill Street on which the present Church building was erected in 1918. A bell was bought soon after the organization and is still being used in the church to call the people together for worship.

The Word of God
The Bible, consisting of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, alone is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and having supreme authority in all matters of faith and life.
The Trinity
There is One living and true God, eternally existing in three Persons. They are equal in every divine perfection and They execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is God's only begotten Son, was conceived by the Holy Spirit and is the second Person of the Trinity. He was miraculously born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and performed miracles. We affirm His incarnation, teachings, substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and His personal, visible return to earth. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God the Father and humanity.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity and is sent from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. At the moment of salvation the Holy Spirit, as the abiding Helper, Teacher and Guide, indwells every believer in Christ and endows each believer with spiritual gifts for ministry to the family of God and the world.
