Founded 1872 by the Rev. John Patton, in Brush Arbor. Members erected building on land (2.5 mi. NE) given by Elisha Roberts, but in 1918 bought present site. Member families are faithful for generations; so are pastors: the Rev. Jim Canton and son, the Rev. Hubert, were in the Roberts pulpit for 58 years. (1972)
