Yopp’s Primitive Baptist Church, known commonly as Yopp’s Meeting House, takes its name from Jere Yopp, who deeded an acre of land to the church and trustees in 1813. Yopp probably financed the construction of the first church building, which stood near School House Branch on Hwy 172 in Sneads Ferry, NC, not too far from the original structure. The first church burned down in a fire. The current church was built between 1880 and 1892. Yopp’s Meeting House displays a variant of the nave plan of architecture, with two entries and a row of posts running down the middle of the interior. Dual symmetry is also reflected in the two aisles that pass between the slatted benches and in back doors that mirror the front ones. The reason for the dualism is simple; the men and women in the congregation sat on opposite sides of the building. African American attendees sat near the back of the sanctuary. Association meetings were held at the church, spanning several days. Dinners were served outdoors, and visitors were lodged with nearby families.
