The original Providence Baptist Church was built approximately two and a half miles northwest of Chappell Hill. This building was destroyed by a violent storm in 1866. Part of the congregation continued to meet in the Presbyterian Church in Chappell Hill until the present building was completed in 1873.
Visitors can view an interior baptistry under the pulpit and seperate dressing rooms for men and women.
The Church became Society property in 1996, has been restored and is included in the National Register's Historical District of Chappell Hill.
