Narrative

This church, named for the Cherokee chief, Woolenoy-the spelling was changed to Oolenoy in 1827-was organized in 1795 by Rev. John Chastain, who became its first minister. By 1797, with 50 members, it was admitted to the Bethel Baptist Association; it has since been a member of the Saluda, Twelve Mile River, Pickens, and Pickens-Twelve Mile Baptist Associations.
