Mount Moriah Church.
The Mount Moriah Church (Baptist) was organized in Orange County, N.C., on 4 March 1823, breaking off from the Eno Church and joining the Flat River Association. The first deacons were ordained October 1823, and the Church met in monthly conference for worship under the deacons' guidance until the first pastor, T. D. Armstrong, was called in 1832. The Church had 195 members as of July 1840, of which about 50 were African Americans. In 1856, an African-American deacon was ordained. The Church was still functioning in the 1990s.
