THE SERVICES BEGAN IN A SMALL WOODEN BUILDING, GROWING INTO THE ELEGANT SIMPLE WHITE BUILDING WITH STATELY COLUMNS AT THE ENTRANCE. THE AREA NORTH OF THE CHURCH WAS A CEMETERY AND LATER DONATED TO THE CITY OF TROY FOR THEIR CITY HALL, WHICH BURNED IN A FIRE IN 1938. THE ONLY  DESTRUCTION TO THE CHURCH WAS THE FIRE IN THE STEEPLE, WHICH COLLAPSED INTO THE SANCTUARY.

THE WILSON MEN, SAMUEL AND EBENEZER, WERE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH AND SERVED OF THE TRUSTEE BOARD FOR MANY YEARS. THE  SANCTUARY BUILDING WAS ERECTED IN 1824 WITH DONATIONS OF MONEY FROM THE CONGREGATION INCLUDING THE WILSON BROTHERS. SOME OF THE  BRICKS ARE FROM THE WILSON  BRICKYARD. BECAUSE OF HIS INTEGRITY, SAMUEL WILSON LATER BECAME KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AS "UNCLE SAM".               

DURING THE WARS, THE CHURCH BUILDING BECAME A FOCAL POINT FOR MANY ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE RED CROSS, THE SCOUTS, DEFENSE MEETINGS, ETC.. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR HERITAGE IN THIS GREAT CITY.

FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS, WE HAVE JOINED WITH MT. IDA COMMUNITY BAPTIST CHURCH TO FORM THE CHRISTIAN TEAM MINISTRY. WE SHARE THE SAME MINISTERS, OFFICE, A TEAM GOVERNING BOARD, BUT REMAIN INDEPENDENT IN OUR OWN CHURCH GOVERNING BODIES AND OUR BUILDINGS. IT IS A NEW CONCEPT THAT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED, SO THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER, YET REMAIN INDEPENDENT
