The Mt. Hermon church was organized
in 1874 by Rev. Thomas Walker Adams. Services were held in a log
school house at first. A church was later constructed on property
donated by David Jackson Ott. The church was part of the Franklinton
circuit of the Mississippi Conference in those days.
In 1917, a lot was purchased
for $20 from F. R. Miller. A new wood frame church was built.
This church was damaged by a tornado in 1948, and was soon repaired.
A 1964 storm damaged the church so badly that a new building was planned.
The new church was completed, and the first service was held on June 18,
1967 under the leadership of Rev. Walter Gilbert. The new sanctuary
was dedicated on October 18, 1970. |

How to Get There:
Head north on I-55 to and take the exit at Kentwood. Go 14.3 mi.

take a left turn. Go 75 yards and turn left again onto Spurlock Road.
(The post office will be just past Spurlock Road.) The church is
about 150 yards down on the right. |
