Eleven charter members first met near what was known as the Hog Mountain House, eight miles northeast of Lawrenceville, to organize the church. Elder David H. Moncrief and Elder Amos Hadaway organized it. The first building was erected in 1854, with Rev. Amos Hadaway serving as pastor for the first eleven years. The present building was erected in 1905. The Lawrenceville Association was also constituted here in 1854.
