Historical Marker:
According to oral tradition, this congregation was organized in 1870 by the freed blacks of the Lancaster community. Land for a church building was acquired in the late 1870s, during the pastorate of the Rev. Augustus Ferrin, but the sanctuary was not completed until about 1892. It was enlarged in 1905 to accommodate a growing membership. Descendants of many of the early members still worship here. As they continue to uphold the ideals and traditions of the founders.
