According to the cornerstone on the church, it was built in 1937. It is now standing empty and boarded up. An extensive web search did not turn up anything about the church, nor when it was last used. It is located in far northern McDonald County.
When I was here in 2013 the grounds were very high in weeds, so I came back later in the year 2015. Looks like someone had mowed up to the adjoining cemetery, which is better than the brush-hogged look that it had back in 2013. However, the church itself is not cared for.
The back door of the church was not in sight back in 2013. This time it was propped up in the doorway, presumably to try to keep down intruders and/or water damage. My wife went to see if she could peek into the church, and the door dropped back inside; showing the already extensive water damage that has taken out most of the floor.
