This church congregation was organized on October 21, 1900, with an enrollment of forty-eight members. The church was built on land donated by Mrs. Julia C. McLemore. The church building was completed circa 1903.
Positioned on the crest of a small hill, this beautiful church features a corner tower with variegated shingle patterns, and Eastlake style wood carvings in the two front gables. A unique interior feature is the sloping floor of the sanctuary, which angles down toward the altar—a design element occasionally found in regional Presbyterian churches of that era.
This church is located at Boligee on School Street less than 100 yards from the intersection of School Street with Alabama Hwy 11 (Google Maps – 32.753630, -88.031750).
