It was a weak church at the start, but has established itself with a good hewed log house of worship, and is having a heavy increase. Bro. Bennett Hartle, who is a resident minister of this church, was ordained in 1886. The church now numbers something over thirty members. Elder Wm. London is pastor at this time.
