Union Baptist Church is a historic congregation in northeastern Ben Hill County, near the Ocmulgee River. I believe it to be a Freedmen’s church, after documenting its nearby cemetery and considering the birth dates of some of its earliest burials. Also, the association with the Dorminy’s Mill Love of Honor Lodge, which is connected to other nearby Freedmen’s congregations, is an indication of its age.
