Our church was founded on March 1, 1835, when Rev. J.F. Cowan from Apple Creek Church met with eight members in the home of Captain Ezra Dutch.
The first house of worship was built and finished in 1854 and was located on the site of the rear half of our present church. It was a two story building used for Sunday worship and by the Cape Girardeau Academy for Boys during the week. The same ground floor was used to house one of Cape's Public Schools for many years.
