| The following church history was written by the late Judge Ernest Houston Boyd Sr. as part of a series of historical articles in the Putnam County Herald. It was published December 3,1953. The articles were compiled by Christine Spivey Jones into a book called Nuggets of Putnam County History. The Johnson Baptist Church, on the Calf Killer river, in the 4th Civil District, is one of the oldest church congregations in Putnam County. It was the home congregation of Rev. Henry Johnson, one of the best known and most highly esteemed pioneer ministers of Putnam County. Originally constituted as a regular Baptist congregation, it was one of the congregations that affiliated itself with the Christina Baptist denomination in 1865. It is now a regular Baptist Church, affiliated with the Tennessee State Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention. Because of the building in more recent years of numerous other churches in that section, the old Johnson Church does not now have such a large congregation as it once had, but it is still actively functioning. |
