The pioneers of the church had a dream, so with their generous gift of land, hard labor, strong determination, and trust in God, they were soon to see their dreams become a reality. A board structure was finally erected and dedicated to the Honor and Glory of God. The Reverend I.P. Greene was elected the first pastor of the infant church.At the turn of the century, very few black churches kept adequate records of events as they actually happened; but in spite of this, we will endeavor to put together a history as accurate as we can possibly make it, with the bits and pieces of information available to us.The original Deacon Board of the new church was made up of five men:
-
Deacons: Joseph Greene, R.L. Rogers, G.A. Moye, R.D. Thomas, and I. Simpson.
-
Trustees: Ben Green, H.D. Smith, J. Horace, H. Cantey, and R.Thomas.
-
Charter Members:Hampton Cantey, Hattie Cantey, Isaac Greene, Sr., Joseph Greene, Rosa Greene, Letty Harris, Gallie Napier, Katie Taylor, John Robinson, Mary Woodard, and Richard Thomas.
