Although the congregation was organized in 1837, this small stone church was not constructed until 1850. The walls, composed of locally quarried sandstone, are over a foot thick and are topped with a hipped roof. The building was used as a Confederate hospital after the nearby Battle of Ringgold Gap on November 27, 1863, and as a Federal hospital when Major General William T. Sherman moved south toward Tunnel Hill and Dalton in May 1864. Bloodstains can still be seen on the wood floor, dating from its use as a hospital. The church, on the National Register of Historic Places, still contains the historic altar and pews.
