A one room brick church served the church for 26 years. It was razed on April 6, 1914. The laying of the cornerstone for the new building took place June 18, 1914. The church met in the old Flora Opera House above the Flora State Bank for services until Nov. 29, 1914 when they dedicated the new building.
