After a revival and house-to-house
visitation in 1855, the church was organized. The first services
were held under a brush arbor across from the Douglas cemetery. The
location was moved to its present site in 1881 and the second church building
was constructed. The third (and current) sanctuary was built in the
1970s and dedicated on September 25, 1977. An education building
and fellowship hall were also built at that time.
The current parsonage was dedicated
in February 1982 under the leadership of Rev. Brenda Layman. A family
life center was built behind the sanctuary and was dedicated on August
28, 1994. The outdoor bulletin board, also set up in 1994, is in
memory of Willie Dean Chandler.
