Organized in 1855 with 13 charter members—Mrs. Joel Arrington, Capt. and Mrs. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Matthews, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Parchman, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wylie Parchman, Mr. and Mrs. John D. Parchman, and Squire and Mrs. C. S. Yates—this congregation first met south of town in Joe Wylie Parchman's home, later in a Masonic Hall, then bought this site in 1875 and built a meetinghouse; a larger frame building was erected in 1896-97, the present edifice was completed in 1930, and an educational building in 1953, and the church body has given at least four men to the ministry.
