Though it is now known as His Mercy Ministries, this church near the Stevens Pottery community was originally home to Scott’s Chapel CME. I photographed the cornerstone but it is difficult to read. The information I can discern is the name of the church, the name of Bishop R. S. Williams, and the fact that the church was remodeled in 1925. The cinderblock indicates that it was rebuilt at a later date. It’s likely Scott’s Chapel was a freedman’s congregation, considering that the area was well-populated by 1851, if not sooner. Information on the church has been difficult to access.
