The congregation was formed in 1830 out of a Baptist congregation that met in the building that is now Woodford County Historical Society.  The new congregation broke with the Baptists over several issues:  the frequency of the Lord's Supper, the way in which the Bible was interpreted, the requirement of members to believe in creeds, and beliefs about denominations.  The new "Christians", as they called themselves, were part of a movement on the frontier of America that sought to dissolve denominations and return to the Bible as the only model for faith and conduct.  In spite of their differences, the Baptists and Christians managed to use the same building for twenty-three years.  In 1853 the present sanctuary building was constructed.
