The sign outside of the church used to read "Founded Prior to 1770." It now reads "Constituted 1756." Some claim that the church was actually started in 1738. The original church name was Particular Baptist Church.
Regardless, the current church building was constructed in 1859. It still has an old hand pulled bell for call to worship in front. This building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
