The church building, constructed in Greek Revival style, was completed in 1847-1849 on the site of the congregation's original building that was built in 1807. The church is the oldest active congregation in Maury County. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
==History==
The church was established in the early 19th century by Scots-Irish families from South Carolina who moved to Maury County. In 1807, they organized and built a log church on 5000 acres (20 km²) of land they purchased from heirs of General Nathanael Greene, who had received the land as part of a 25,000-acre (100 km²) American Revolutionary War land grant. The log church was replaced with a small brick structure in 1813.〔
In 1847, the church building was constructed in Greek Revival style by church members and slaves using brick, limestone, and timber. The architectural styling features stepped gables and a recessed open vestibule. A slave gallery was provided for the African-American members of the congregation. In 1880 stained glass produced by Tiffany was added to the church.〔
