The pastor in 1840 is not known, nor are the pastors before 1905.  The first recorded Deacons were Jordan Craig, Andy Jenkins, and Rollin Smedley. 

Rev. Willie Boyd had the church moved to its present location. It is said that Mr. Table Toland, Frank Pinkard, and Lewis Smedley dug the church well. Rev Clinert Ray Staples Sr. poured the cement slab that presently covers the well.
