In the 1760s, the Separate Baptist movement was gaining members in spite of religious persecution from the Church of England. Three early leaders of the Somerset congregation were jailed in 1766 for preaching religious freedom.
The Somerset congregation formed a church that was officially constituted in 1769 and over the next 200 years the congregation met in three different locations under several names, including Rapid-Ann and Craig's Meeting House. The Blue Run Baptist Church was built on property purchased in 1885 and has been in service since that time.
