Wetumpka Alabama has a Blue Ridge Baptist Church. It’s at the corner of Old Jasmine Hill Road and Jasmine Hill Road. I wonder if there is any jasmine around?
If you are coming up 231 from the Willow Springs area, take the Jasmine Hill Road exit, it about a mile up the road. The road will turn North as you are about half way there.
Google has the city of Blue Ridge, for which I am guessing the Blue Ridge Baptist Church was named, North on Jasmine Hill Road about a mile and a half where the road turns towards the East.
