The church was established on April 25, 1925. George Camp, the owner of the Fratersville Area, deeded the land for the church in 1928. He was superintendent of the Coal Creek Company, owned by his father, E.C. Camp, known as the major.

Robby and Eddie Lindsey, brothers, were two of the charter members of the church. Robby became one of the church's first pastors.

The community held services, first in a house. My earliest memories include the church services and the Christmas plays.

A frame building replaced the original church around 1931 - 1933. It was destroyed by fire shortly after. Later a smaller structure served the community until 1948 when a large concrete building was finished. It is still in use as Sunday School rooms. A new auditorium with a baptistry was built in 1988. It was built by men of the church. Otis Kesterson, brick mason, constructed the walls and was assisted by James Wilson, Jr.

William (Bill) Lamb served the church as pastor for over 20 years until health problems caused his retirement.
