The congregation was organized in 1851 by Rev. Dexter Clary and Hiram Foote, and held services in the schoolhouse in the first years. The church building was constructed during 1857–59 for $2,800.[3]

The building is one-story, 36 by 55 feet (11 m × 17 m), built of Cooksville red brick, with local tan brick for approx. seven course rim and base trim, on a limestone foundation. The cornice returns and pitch of the roof are Greek Revival elements. The walls and tower are varied with pilasters.[3]

Additions constructed by 'Roberts Construction Inc" were completed in 2016, with the latest new basketball court/dining hall, & lower level educational classrooms, designed by nearby Madison architect Ron Siggelkow of Dimension IV. The addition created a new and compatible complement to the original historic chapel. The worship room/sanctuary from a previous addition accommodates a larger congregation than the original historic chapel, which now serves as a congregation room. A new lobby and entry connect the gym & the historic annex & sanctuary over-looking the Rock River.
