Organized 1880, with worship services and Sunday School held under trees and a brush arbor. Structure built 1881, by A.B. Harris. Six acre site, including nearby cemetery, were donated by the Rev. William E. Bates (1812-83), retired circuit rider and minister.

Building costs were supplied through members' and friends' donation, which included a horse. Men of the congregation hauled the lumber from the sawmills in East Texas.

This church was the first in the community and has served five generations of residents.
