Several members … Louis and
Ann Hutchinson, Dave and Emma McClinton, Simon McCoy, Ann Riddle, James
Berry, and James Johnson … desired to worship somewhere beside the balcony
of First Church. After Louis and Ann Hutchinson donated an acre of
land, they built a brush arbor under which to hold services. The
church was organized under the leadership of Rev. Perry Hall in 1875.
The first church was built in
1877 under the leadership of Rev. A. Legardy. The location of that
church was the corner of Fairfield Road and Hutchinson Lane (the current
Linwood and Hollywood Avenues).
The current church was built
in 1960 under the leadership of Rev. Hubbard Daniel. In 1965, a lot
on the corner of Severine and Rosary Lane was donated to the church by
Mrs. Martha Hutchinson McCoy. |
