The Baptist congregation was founded around 1755 by settlers from New Jersey. The current Greek Revival church meeting house was built in 1842 near the Jersey Baptist Church Cemetery. It is a rectangular gable-front brick building, four bays long and two bays wide. A belfry was added in 1897-1899 and a portico in 1945.

The meeting house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
