In 1843 congregants formed this church in opposition to slavery being extended into the new territory of Texas. One hundred years later, the church was destroyed by a fire resulting from a lightning strike in late June or early July 1943. It was rebuilt that same year, using stained glass windows created by notable artisan Harry J. Harwood.
