Founded in 1850 when Bell County was created, this church was part of a circuit until 1869. By the 1880s, the membership had outgrown their original church building at Pearl and First Avenue. This larger sanctuary was erected in 1884-86, during the pastorate of the Rev. W.L. Nelms. Constructed of locally made bricks with a native stone foundation, it features Gothic Style detailing. The original steeple was removed during remodeling in 1925. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1978.
