I believe this congregation, in the Phillipsburg community, dates to circa 1915. It was affiliated with the Church of God at one time. There was a school on the property in the early days, as well. The adjacent cemetery is well-maintained but the church is in critical condition.

The church was closed I think in 1981. Reverend John Addington came from their headquarters in Indiana and met with the congregation to close the church. He was a former pastor and dear friend of my family.
