The church was organized under the
leadership of Rev. A. Moore in 1874. The land was donated on January
26, 1875 by Addison Moore, and a church was built.
The original church was replaced
in 1907 under the leadership of Rev. D.S. Sloon. The Gothic arched
stained glass windows were an original feature of the church.
In 1949, under the leadership
of Rev. P.M. Jones, the parsonage was renovated, a reception room and restrooms
were added to the back of the church, and gas lines were installed.
Rev. V.S. Byoune led the church in 1953-57 in repairing the parsonage,
painting the inside of the church, the construction of an education building,
and purchasing land on Hebert Street for the construction of a new church
and parsonage. The current parsonage on Hebert Street was purchased
under the leadership of Rev. Robert Norwood.. Under the leadership
of Rev. Fulton A. Raymond, the church bought new pews, painted the inside
of the church, added siding to the exterior, and installed carpeting. |
