In the 1880s a Methodist circuit rider, Arthur Everette Rector, visited the Coker community about once a month; services lasted all day while horses, wagons, and oxen were tethered nearby.

The first church was built here about 1885 and was a wooden building put together with square nails. The church was originally called Salado Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and later renamed Coker Methodist Church sometime in the 1920s.

The present day rock church was constructed by the community members in 1938 and 1939.
