There is evidence that it was constituted, or reconstituted, in 1757 as a Particular Baptist church after a split in the denomination. The first known building was constructed in 1764. Falls of the Tar was a founding member of the Kehukee Association. The church and its leaders, in particular Reverend John Moore, were central to the Primitive Baptist movement. The Falls of Tar became a Primitive Baptist Church in the mid-1800s.</p> <p>Source:</p> <p>"Falls of the Tar Church (E-88)," <title render="italic"><part>NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources</part></title>, State of North Carolina.
