Mr. Sellars and wife were members of Wayfare Primitive Baptist Church and were baptized into its membership about 1843. He served as church clerk 1847-48 and again 1852-58. He was ordained to the deaconship March 5, 1853. About 1858-59 he was expelled on account of doctrinal differences, and he and his wife united with nearby Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church and was received as an ordained deacon.
