Our History

For over 180 years, the work of the Lord continued as our place of worship grew from a small pioneer schoolhouse to the current, beautiful stone church on Grand River Avenue.

The three early churches were each within walking distance of the town center. The first church services were held in the pioneer schoolhouse on Gregory Street, between Sibley and Washington Streets. By 1839 the church had 42 members.

The original meeting house was between Walnut and Sibley Streets. A brick church on Sibley Street near Court Street was used for 60 years.

The present limestone structure was completed in 1915. The Christian Education wing was erected in 1968. A subsequent expansion took place in 2009 to include a state-of-the-art audio-visual system, air conditioning, and many handicap-accessible features.
