The cornerstone of the present church was laid on July 7, 1860. The building was consecrated May 20, 1861,[1] and added to the National Register in 2004. The church remains active today, with regular services, as well as community involvement, including hosting Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and running a food pantry.[3]
