The roots of this congregation reach back to the late 1700’s, when Methodist pioneers such as Francis Asbury and Freeborn Garrettson visited this area to propagate the faith, and meetings were held in the open air and in private residences. By 1816 a group of local residents were joining together in worship. In 1833 land was purchased approximately one mile north of here for the construction of a church, where services were held until 1880, when the present church was erected on land purchased from John Steele. The new building was formally dedicated on December 12, 1880, and a major renovation and expansion of the church was undertaken from 1928 to 1930.
