The Fredonia congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized October 18, 1845, by a provision made by the Princeton Presbytery. Services were first held in a log cabin, and first pastor was Rev. William C. Love.

In 1850 the log cabin was replaced by a beautiful red brick structure, which was completed a year later. (This is the brick church on Highway 91N.) The bricks for the building were burned near a pond on the Jake Crider farm - now owned by Mr. & Mrs. Wilford Baker.

With the union of 1906, the Presbyterian Church of the USA took control, and part of the congregation, loyal to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, chose to leave. They meet for three years in each others homes, during which a board of elders was elected.
