Organized in 1867 and renamed in the 1960s, this wooden church has hipped roofs and a three-story square corner tower with a spire. At the base of the tower is a pedimented entrance porch supported on a single corner column. Large gables have pointed-arched windows with curved tracery. Though small, just 21 x 31 feet, the church has a more dynamic massing than found in a typical Carpenter Gothic church. The congregation once included African American cowboy Bose Ikard, who worked for Charles Goodnight on the early cattle drives on the Goodnight-Loving Trail and who settled in Parker County in 1869.
