The church has had many wonderful revivals, and has witnessed many souls born into the kingdom of God. At the present there are 141 members.

The church building was completed in 1900 and an addition was built in 1938. They have half time services, and maintain a good Sunday Sunday School and prayer meeting.

Union Association met with this church in 1930; the Ministers and deacons meeting was held with them three times, and the Sunday School Convention was held with them in 1912.
