The Reverend William Benson organized a Methodist class for this area in 1849. The class, which had seven members, held its first worship service in a log school south of Eureka. Later it met in the Sherwood School and the Keystone Grange Hall. Following a revival service conducted by the Reverend James Connolly in 1895, the class decided to build a permanent church. The present frame church was completed at a cost of nearly $4,000 and dedicated on August 28, 1898.
