Smyrna Baptist Church, Baptist church near Allendale, South Carolina, United States

Smyrna Baptist Church, also known as Kirkland Church, is a one-story, meeting-house-style frame building erected in 1827 near Allendale, South Carolina. Its front facade has a central Palladian window flanked by two nine-paneled entrance doors, and a cemetery surrounds the church.

Built in 1827 as a one-story meeting house, the church was first known as Kirkland Church. In 1833 Dr. William Erwin, owner of Erwinton, his wife and sister-in-law were excommunicated from Kirkland for affiliation with other denominations. They formed South Carolina's second Christian congregation, the Disciples of Christ, met weekly at Erwinton, and dedicated the present meeting house as Antioch Christian Church in 1835. The land was deeded to the Baptists by William J. Mixson on June 5, 1849, and the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

The name Smyrna Baptist Church is used alongside its older name, Kirkland Church. The land was deeded to the Baptist congregation by William J. Mixson on June 5, 1849, on condition that it be held by Baptists "of the same faith and order as those now worshiping there." A cemetery surrounds the building.

The church stands near Allendale, reached by turning off South Carolina Highway 22 onto the local road that passes the grounds. The building is surrounded by its cemetery, so visitors walk among graves to view the facade; allow time for that walk and for reading the headstones. The site is rural and unstaffed, with no visitor facilities on the grounds.

After their expulsion, Dr. Erwin and his family founded Antioch Christian Church and initially gathered at his property called Erwinton before moving to a new building in 1835. This religious split demonstrates how doctrinal disagreements led to the creation of new faith communities in the region.
