Marker Text
Worship services began about 1917 in the Chalk Hill schoolhouse until a
church building was erected in 1921. Materials for the community church were
purchased through donations solicited from the citizens of Chalk Hill. In 1925
the women sold baked goods and quilts to purchase a piano for the church.
Through the years the structure has served the Baptist, Apostolic, Methodist and
Presbyterian denominations. Owned by the community, the building continues to
serve as a spiritual and social center of the Chalk Hill area. (1996)
