The Luxomni schoolhouse was the first meeting place, located where the new building now sits. The first church building was built in 1906, with a cost of land and building toping out at $900.00. Early members included Mannie Todd, Katy Garner, Joseph Garner, Mamy Collins, Ange Holt, R. N. Holt, Martha McNeal, J. M. McNeal, M. B. Haney, Leety Garner and R. P. Garner as charter members. The church council included E. C. McDaniel, F. Cain, Rev. J. P. McConnell and Rev. W. T. Aikin, the last named acting as moderator, and E. C. McDaniel, clerk. The church still exists, but the original building has been replaced by a modern brick building.
