History

edit

Prior to the construction of the church, members of the church held services[3] in the Bath Depot and private residences from 1882-1887.[4] The church initially featured an organ and two services each Sunday, one in Welsh and one in English.

The first minister was Reverend J.W. Morgan who came from Wisconsin.[5] By 1900, the church had a parsonage but it was sold to George Little in 1928 and moved to his farm south of Plana. [6]

The church held regular services until 1941.[7]
