Green Trails was a planned subdivision in Chesterfield which was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. While most of the commercial aspect was not built, several churches popped up. Green Trails Baptist Church was one of them, on the far western edge where Ladue Road intersects with Olive Street Road. Groundbreaking occurred on March 30, 1969, and services began in April of 1970.

It sort of looks like the prow of a giant ship, which is interesting of course, since nave in Latin means ship. The giant cross is a series of broken pieces of stained glass and must look nice on the interior.

The church was active from 1970 to 2009, when the current congregation took over.
