Richland Church was established in 1816. The first structure was built of logs and was located near the center of the present cemetery. Rev.Billy Burton was the pastor and he requested that he be buried at the foot of the church door. His grace stone is located within the cemetery. In 1833 1 1/2 acres of ground was deeded for the church and cemetery, and another log house was built near the church
's present location. In 1857 a frame building was constructed by slaves, upgrading the log house, and finally in 1925 the building used for worship today was constructed, and dedicated in July of 1926. Through the years Richland has served Christ and the community beyond our front doors, always striving to love others as ourselves and to love and serve the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. Join us Sunday morning for a time of praise, fellowship, and spiritual renewal!
