The church was founded in 1925 as Palmer Lake Friends Community Church with 41 members. Services were held in the Town Hall until two log houses were bought which were to become the church complex. The bell in the belfry came from the first schoolhouse. Orville and Myrtle Bender were pastors until 1930. She was ordained in 1939 and remained until her retirement in 1959. The public library was located in the church until about 1964. A basement was added in 1947 which is now used for classes and social activities.
