The first conference was held at Concord in 1807, when it was a branch of Bulltail (now Wells Chapel Baptist Church). It continued with the same deacons and clerks until February 18, 1825 when it was constituted as a separate church, Elders Raphel, Fennell, and Stallings officiating. In 1835 twenty-four members were dismissed to Beaver Dam (now Magnolia). In 1853, thirty-two members were given letters of dismission in order that they might organize Carroll's Chapel (now Corinth). In April of 1866, the Corinth membership (after having dissolved their church) were received into Concord. In June they were granted their letters to re-organize Corinth again. This collection includes volumes 1 and 2 of the church minute book, a church letter, financial record, obituary, membership lists, and minutes.
