Gill Grove Baptist Church was organized September 22, 1843. It was born out of a series of revival services preached by Pastor Samuel Taylor. Twelve conversions from the meeting made up the majority of the new churchs membership, and there were seventeen members when the church was organized. Pastor Taylor became the first pastor of Gill Grove Baptist Church and served for 31 years. Under his leadership the church grew, and by 1865 the church had 127 members. The first Sunday School classes started in 1868.
