The church
was organized in 1844. In July 1856, Asa Hearne sold the church six
acres of land for nine dollars. In 1892, the church was relocated
three miles away to a piece of land donated by John and Parthenia Matlock.
The current church
structure is the third building on the site. Built in 1980 under
the leadership of Rev. Terry Lowe, it includes a sanctuary, a fellowship
hall, and classrooms. The current membership includes many descendants
of the early church forbearers. |
