Our church was organized 150 years ago. It is one of the oldest Black Churches in the South after the Civil War ended. The war ended April 9, 1865, and the church was organized two years later in 1867. The first services were held in a sawmill shed. Albert Davis secured the acre of land for the church. Ned Hamlin purchased the timber to build the church and the benches from a nearby sawmill. These farmers worked very hard but found the time to arrange for their Revival Services the following August on the second Sunday. For this entire week, large dinners were served on the grounds.

During church services, sinners were called to the front and kneeled at the benches. After the sermon, all the members gathered around them and sang and prayed. They built a brush harbor in front of the church. People from Amelia and Chesterfield counties would attend. The first church was built of weatherboards. The congregation outgrew the original building and an addition was added to the rear. Reverend Monroe Chappell gave Springfield their first baptizing pool.
