Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church was organized in 1883 at the home of John A. Hill. Services were held in an old school house until this building was constructed on T. M. Hill's land in 1884. Rev. A. J. Thomson was the first pastor. Provision for the perpetual upkeep of the nearby cemetery was made in the will of N. T. Bigham. The frontier religious revival of the early 1800s led to Bethany USA Presbyterian church in 1803. That church moved to Marion in 1846 and remained there until 1882, when a majority of its members seceded to the US church. The USA Presbyterian church was reorganized at Chapel Hill in 1883.
