One of the older denominations in Bastrop, the church family existed as early as 1857, conducting services in the old courthouse building prior to the acquisition of this property. In 1867, the "little rock church" was built on this site. The deed to the property was obtained on September 25, 1867, and signed by H.K. McDonald, giving possession of the lot for a consideration of $1.00 to the new owner, J.H. Wilkins. The church building of New England Victorians architecture was erected in the spring of 1895 and chartered on November 22 of that year.
