M35 PROSPECT CHURCH AND ACADEMY
Presbyterian. Both founded in 1824. Plans for Davidson College adopted here in 1835.

The congregation at Prospect was formed on September 8, 1824, when the Concord Presbytery responded to a petition from Presbyterians living near the Iredell-Rowan county line (east of present Mooresville). Most of the petitioners had been members of Centre Church in southern Iredell. The congregation erected two log structures on land owned by Col. James Jamison. One building was called the “meeting house” and the other a “study house.” The buildings were located in an area now enclosed by the cemetery at Prospect Church. In February 1825, Jamison gave five acres of land and both structures to the church.
