     This church was organized on April 22, 1882, by pioneer settlers of the Sunny Dell community, a prosperous farming settlement of early Tyler County. Led by the Rev. Arnold Rhodes, the congregation had 14 charter members. James Sturrock donated land for the sanctuary. A leading church in the region for many years, the congregation declined as the area's population decreased. Services were discontinued in 1955, but homecomings are held here annually. Descendants of early members continue to live in the area and many have served as leaders of Tyler County.
