Kathleen, The Baptist are and were not known for keeping (what we would term good genealogical) records. Their records mainly consist of just the minutes of the business meetings and who join and when. Some older Baptist churches did record when a member was being punished for something such as drinking, adulty or other behavior they termed "not christian". The trick is finding these records as they were usually kept by the clerk or whoever recorded them and did not stay with the church. Right off, (and someone correct me if I'm wrong), but I don't remember seeing any Baptist Churches here in the Walker area on Lookout Mountain. There are several now, Ascolon, Lookout Mountain, the Baptist church at the top of the mountain at the intersection of Nick-a-jack and Lula Lake Rd., Hinkle and a couple of others, but none earlier that I can recall. One of the oldest churches here was the Mount Pleasant Methodist Episcopal South. However, it has been gone for a number of years. Payne's Chapel is another older Methodist Church and is still here. I'm sorry this is not much help.
