The church edifice was erected at a cost of three thousand dollars. It is probable that services by traveling ministers of the Reformed church were held here about one hundred years ago. Immediately prior to the erection of the church edifice, services were held in the house of Solomon Glotfelty, two miles east of Salisbury. The church, which is now in a flourishing condition, has two hundred and ten members, with a Sunday school of one hundred and twenty- five members.
