Historical Notes	In 1853, Scots-Irish immigrants from North Carolina were some in the Dancyville community who sought and petitioned the Presbytery for a church of their own. The petition passed and the construction of the church began in 1854. The church building was remodeled in 1939 because of a donation made by Sidney Walter Edwards of Whiteville, TN, who died in 1937. Edwards was christened at the church in 1868 and later became communicant in 1882. Due to declining membership, the church was sold to the Dancyville Miracle Temple-COGIC Church.
