The Boynton Church was established
in 1880 in a building known as Caspars Hall. The charter members
raised $500 to purchase two lots at the present site of the church.
The church recieved its first pastor in 1883.
The original frame building,
built in 1888, was destroyed by fire on May 26, 1894. It was rebuilt
in September of that year, but this building was destroyed by a 1915 hurricane.
The church was rebuilt about 1918. It was renovated in 1954 under
the leadership of Rev. W.T. Handy, Sr., the District Superintendent who
also served as pastor from 1952 to 1954.
A new church was built and completed
on December 22, 1981. The pastor at that time was Rev. O.W. Christopher.
