History of Crescent Chapel Church

10/18/2023

0 Comments

 
Taken directly from page 12 of Memories of a Community at Turners Station​.
The church was organized at the log cabin schoolhouse of Rock Bridge Road by Rev. Frye in 1878. At the time it was Presbyterian. 
Uncle Andy Delzell and A. C. McGinty were pastors. The schoolhouse burned in 1888, and a new school building was built in 1890 and named Crescent Chapel. Church was held in the new school building.
In 1891, prayer meetings and Sunday School were organized by Rev. W. M. Wilkerson.
In 1902, Jones Ellis from Marionville, Missouri, organized the M. P. Church, and a new building was erected in 1906.  T. A. Turner was foreman of the building.
