Our church
was organized on April 26, 1903 with 34 charter members. The newly organized church did not
have a place to meet so they met at various times in homes, in the Town Hall and the old School. A nearby creek that runs
into Broad River
served as the baptismal. After the first revival in October 1903,
twenty-five people were added to the church roll. Several years of rapid growth followed.
The church
stepped out in faith and built the first house of worship and on August 15, 1909 the first church building was dedicated.
By 1922 the
church had outgrown this building and again stepped out on faith to plan for a new structure to be built. The church arranged
with Cliffside Mills to donate $1.00 for every $1.00 donated by church members. On August 24, 1924 the first service was held in the new building. Because it was not completely paid
for it was not dedicated until seventeen years later on August 24, 1941.
The church
continued to grow and new additions had to be added and a major renovation was completed on the sanctuary in 1966.
In February,
1987 the new Fellowship Center
was dedicated.
In October 25, 1998 we broke ground on the new church building and on April 23, 2000 the first service was held in our new Sanctuary. Then July 9, 2000 the new facility was dedicated.
We invite you
to become a part of the church today and a piece of its history tomorrow.
