The Bean Creek Missionary Baptist Church is located in the Bean Creek Community. The community supposedly got its name when a man was riding along the creek when the sack of beans he was carrying burst open and landed in the water. The beans eventually took root.

JH Nichols donated one acre of land in 1863 to be used for worship. A log cabin that once stood across the street served as the first place of worship. The current church was built in 1955.

The Bean Creek Cemetery sits on the hill behind the current church structure. Burials date back to when the church was first founded. The cemetery and church are still active.
