Description
PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH OF CADES COVE by PRISCILLA BURGERS
The Primitve Baptist Church is one of three remaining churches in Cades Cove of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. John and Lucretia Oliver introduced the Baptist denomination to Cades Cove in 1825. The churches split over some major differences in beliefs, thus the Primitive Baptist Church was formed. The split mainly concerned differences over missionary work, temperance societies, and Sunday schools. The Primitive Baptists remained the dominant religious and political force in Cades Cove following the split. The church staunchly backed the Union in the Civil War, which led to divisions tense enough within the cove that it was actually closed during the war. The congregation met in a log structure until 1887, when the white frame church building was constructed. The Primitive Baptist Church resisted closure until the 1960's, more than 20 years after the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
