History The founding of this church occurred in November of 1889 on the Deweese Schoolhouse property donated to the church by Isaiah Deweese. The first sanctuary was erected in the 1890's. A fellowship building, "The Hut" was built in the 1920's. The sanctuary was expanded by adding Sunday School rooms and was brick veneered in the 1930's. By the middle of the 20th Century, plans were being made for reconstruction of the church facilities. An educational wing was built in 1963. This was followed by a new sanctuary, connected to the educational wing, in 1969. The former sanctuary was demolished soon after. A greatly-expanded fellowship hall and ministry center was built, replacing "The Hut" in the 1990's. The latest project, remodeling and expansion of the church sanctuary, was finished in 2004.
