The church was destroyed in 1929. The current building was built
in 1954 under the leadership of Rev. O.J.D. Rainey. The trustees
at that time were Mr. H. Williams and Willie James C.H.R. The cornerstone
was laid on March 21, 1954.
The
church is named after Methodist Episcopal Bishop William Xavier Ninde.
