In 1790, the Lower Marsh Creek Presbyterian Church Congregation erected the present substantial stone structure. Families brought stones to church services from the various farms for use in constructing the church.
Originally, the church had no facilities for any fire in winter until many years after its erection.
The church was remolded in 1850, and in 1891. Although renovated many times, the ancient stone church still stands in very good condition.
