History
The congregation’s first church was a frame structure from 1882. By 1907, they had outgrown it. The present brick building replaced that earlier wooden church.
What you see
A single-story brick volume rises from a rusticated limestone base. The design borrows from Romanesque and Gothic Revival. That combination gives the small church a sturdy, vertical presence on its street.
Cultural significance
The church sits in what was the original black neighborhood of Coffeyville. Its 1995 National Register listing recognizes both the building and its place in that community’s history.
