On March 15, 1857, a covenant was signed by fifteen persons to organize a church. They were examined by Rev. Larry Hobbs, Rev. William J. Baker, and Rev. Richard Smith. They were Sarah and Hardy Alligood, Mary Ann and James Shepard, Nancy and James R. Witherington, Susan C. and James Hill, Harriet and Benny Hobbs, Easter, Anna, and R.T. Grimsley, and Amanda Fountain. At the next meeting, Hardy Alligood was elected the first deacon, James Shepard, the first clerk, and Rev. Hobbs, the first pastor. The first building was about a mile south of Dexter, and then in 1916 a new site was selected about two miles south of the church, across the road from the nameless school. A tornado in 1929 destroyed this one, and a new structure was built
