Organized 1906 at Wright (4 miles NE), the church was relocated in 1907 when the Santa Fe Railway bypassed Wright, founding Kress. With their own hands, members built the first section of this sanctuary (1908), sharing its use with other faiths. The bell on the lawn originally hung in a steeple, and rang for special events as well as worship. The church structure -- remodeled, greatly enlarged, and enhanced by memorial windows -- now forms a local landmark. Lay leaders and four ministers have come from this congregation. (1977)
