Bentonia Baptist Church was organized in 1906 by Rev. Burl C. Conant; however, it did not apply for admittance to the Central Baptist Association until September 1909. The church belonged to the Central Baptist Association from its date of admission until 1921 when the Yazoo County Baptist Association was organized and the church was incorporated into this association. The church began with quarter-time preaching services, which were held in the old Union Church. This building was located on the now vacant lot near the Bentonia Methodist Church. The church has seen success and disappointments, happiness and sorrows, births and weddings, deaths and funerals.

All who have walked through its doors during the last one hundred years have left their footprints of life etched in the memories of the church. By the Grace of God, our story is never ending. So much, love so many memories. During this span God has richly blessed the congregation. Church, Pastors and all phases of the church ministry. May Bentonia Baptist Church remain faithful to our Lord and Savior as we continue to serve as a beacon of hope and strive to be God's Lighthouse in a Mississippi Town.
