Blue Springs Missionary Baptist Church has a long history dating back to 1837 when the church was established in Blue Springs Hollow in Speedwell, Tennessee. Later, because the Powell River ran between the Sharps Chapel Community and Speedwell, the river would rise from excessive rain and often made it impassable for members to attend Sunday worship services.

“Not every town wants a chicken plant.”
These are the words of many citizens in Humboldt, Tennessee, as they received a Tyson chicken farm that was rejected by Kansas and now the growing thought of citizens in the Sharps Chapel Community.
