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.
