Bellevue Presbyterian Church - Caledonia, Missouri - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

The Bellevue Presbyterian Church was originally founded in 1816 as Concord Presbyterian Church about 1 1/2 miles northeast of Caledonia in vicinity of the Bellevue Presbyterian Church Cemetery. This was the first Presbyterian Church west of the Mississippi River. The congregation constructed a log church which served as their church building until 1839 when the building burned. It was replaced by a brick building on the same site which served as the church until the current church building was completed in 1872.

The current building was constructed between 1870 and 1872 and incorporates both Neoclassical and Gothic Revival styles. The church does not appear to hold regular services at this time though it is listed as an active church in the Presbyterian directory.
