The church began in 1887 with
services under an arbor under the hill at Mr. & Mrs. Dan McGee’s.
The arbor was later moved to the south part of Sally Eason’s property.
On August 3, 1898, the church bought an acre of land from the Grigsbys
for $2.00. A church was built on the site.
The current church was constructed
under the leadership of Rev. Daniel Moore. A fellowship hall was
constructed under the leadership of Rev. W.C. Moore. The church steeple
was added while Rev. Levi Moore was pastor. While Rev. Quinton Gibson
was pastor, the building was painted, a wheelchair ramp was added, and
the heating system was installed. An air conditioning system was
installed while Rev. Samuel Bradley served the church. |
