Vestal History: (visit link)

"The Reformed Methodist Church of Bunn Hill started out by conducting Bible classes in the Bunn Hill school-house. On May 15, 1897 the building at the corner of Coughlin, now Jensen, and Bunn Hill Roads was dedicated by Rev. John C. Murphey, the first pastor. The simple $800 structure which sat in a pine grove was known for a time as the “Little White Church in the Pines”. In 1944 it was officially renamed in The Bunn Hill Community Church. A new foundation with full basement was constructed in 1950. Other small interior remodeling continued until 1969 when a large addition was added to the rear of the building. The church, which became the Bunn Hill Baptist Church in 1980, is today the Tri City Baptist Church."
