The Building:
The current building was constructed in 1952 with an addition added in 2001. The original site and building were across Cripple Creek from the present site where the church was organized between 1815 and 1820. Presbytery minutes have record indicating the church was organized in 1805. Early records of the church were destroyed in a fire at the home of the Clerk of Session.

The Belltower
In 1905, the boys and girls of the congregation raised money to purchase a church bell by feeding and selling pigs given them by the pastor. This bell, moved from the old wooded structure, still calls worshipers today.
