Constituted in 1866 with eight charter members, New Providence
Primitive Baptist Church has served this rural area of Milam County for
over a century. Elders William Thomas and G. W. McDonald were the church's
original preachers. Members first held their services in a schoolhouse
in Maysfield. This property was deeded to the church in 1899. That same
year, members built a white frame structure in which they continued to
worship at the turn of the 21st century. The church grounds remain in
use as a gathering place for families, and church services continue to
reflect the doctrines of the founders.
