"New Providence Church was constituted on the 27th day of July, 1805, with twelve members. Elders Richard Curtis and Thomas Mercer assisted in the constitution. Thomas Mercer was the first pastor. Others who followed were Ezra Courtney, Samuel Marsh, H. Humble, Charles Felder, Thomas M. Bond, during the early days. This church was located on Waggoner's creek at first just a short distance from the present Plymouth Primitive Baptist church and west of the A.D. Drummond home. Doubtless the first house was made of peeled pine poles or logs or hewn logs at best as there were no sawmills then. In 1838 at the December meeting the church, "Resolved to sell the old meeting house." At the May meeting in 1839, the building committee reported that they had examined the ground and resolved to build the new house within 40 or 50 feet south of the old house. Later this church was moved about two miles west of Merwin, Amite County. In 1901 a very nice building was erected for New Providence Church at Merwin. In May, 1930, this church was destroyed by fire which caught from the sparks of burning grass from a nearby field. It was not rebuilt. Some of the members joined Galilee Baptist Church, Gloster, some Berwisk, some Liberty and may be some to places. For 125 years, this historic church stood as a beacon light to all who came under her influence.
