The congregation was founded around 1839 and its first building, a simple one-story brick building, was built around 1840. That building was destroyed in a fire in 1865. This new church was built on a new site in 1872.
It is a one-story brick church upon a raised basement and limestone foundation. An alcove was added in 1906 and the church was extended to the rear in 1966 with a two-story brick addition.[2]
