CHURCH HISTORY
A community church established by community members, she stands as a landmark of dedicated Christian endeavor. Friends and neighbors worked together to organize her, and to grow her, and this same community involvement sustains her today. About the year 1870, a small group of Christian workers of different denominations wished to join their mutual thoughts and worship their Lord Jesus Christ together. Among this initial group of charter members were Mr. and Mrs. James T. Clevenger, Mr. and Mrs. Scott Clevenger, Mr. and Mrs. Newton Clevenger, Mr. and Mrs. John W. McKown, Mr. and Mrs. Billy Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Miller, Dr. Daniel Janny and Massey Timberlake. In 1873, Mr. James Clevenger donated a portion of land for a sanctuary and cemetery. The first sanctuary was 16' x 30' and, due to the growth of the congregation, was replaced about 1893 by the existing sanctuary. Years later a basement was hand-dug by the men of the congregation to provide more space for classes and fellowship. Then in 2002, George and Carolyn Glaize donated 5+ adjoining acres on which the congregation built the Fellowship/Educational Building in 2012.
