It was constructed in 1921. The Gothic revival building had bell-cot over the front door similar to St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Day & Sachs were the contractors for the construction.

The church was established as a mission of the United Synod of the South in the 1910s. In 1918 it has 86 members. Prior to constructing its 14th Avenue building it met in a building on the north east corner of 7th Avenue North and 23rd Street North.
