The church is affiliated with the Baptist Missionary Association and with the Clark Baptist Association. In 1933 the church burned, and was soon rebuilt at the same location.

"Dave Hammonds owned land around the Vaden area. He built a large house, one of the earliest to have gas lights in the area. It is said that he found some buried money and this is where he got money to buy land and other goods. Another story is that he was repaid for a debt someone owed him in earlier days. He did help many people when times were hard and had no food." (Rosie Pitts, 1996.)
