In 1870, prior to the opening of the railroad, the Rev. James S. H. Henderson, who was serving the Neelsville-Darnestown Presbyterian Church, began preaching in the Ten Mile Creek Schoolhouse near Boyds Station. In the years to follow, Col. James A. Boyd and Mr. James E. Williams were instrumental in constructing the current house of worship. The sanctuary was completed in 1876 and the church was officially established on May 16, 1877 with the Rev. T. Davis Richards installed as the first pastor.

In the early 1900's the steeple with vestibule and bell were added. A community hall was built in 1923 to house Sunday school classes and church functions. The stained glass windows were installed in 1925.

The church fell on hard times during the 1930's, but the tenacity and great witness of the Rev. James P. Kerr, his wife Ruth Kerr, and other church leaders kept the church going. Reverend Kerr served the church for 31 years. Such strong discipleship brought the church into the 50's and 60's with a bright future.

The church has a history of being sensitive to the growing needs of the community. In 1962, a contemporary Christian Education Building was constructed and houses the following:

• Sunday School: 3 years olds through adults
• Vacation Bible School
• Writers Group
• Sewing Circle
• Baby Sitting Co-op
• Early Learning Fun Preschool (ELF)
• Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon
• 4-H Club
• Boyds Civic Association
• Used by many area churches and community organizations
