Marker Text This congregation traces its history to 1892 when Mr. and Mrs. G. O. Hart gave an acre of land for a new church building. The church was officially organized on September 11, 1892, and the Rev. J. H. Floyd served as the first pastor. One of the main reasons for the establishment of this congregation was so the members would not have to travel to Pittsburg for worship services. It has remained a small rural church, with various structures built over the years to accommodate the membership, which includes descendants of charter members.
