“Macedonia Church was founded when some members of David’s Fork (Baptist) Church………said Christ was their creed and that all Christians should be able to unite in this simple statement, thus fulfilling Christ’s wish that they ‘all be one.’….Starting the first Saturday in January 1830, the discussion continued with much prayer and soul searching until, finally, thirty-one dissenters were read out of the church, and Macedonia was founded March 17, 1830.”  By Virginia Clark Hagan

“In 1841, Macedonia had its own meeting place.  By 1850, it was judged ‘not-safe’, so the church was built with steps all the way across the front and a door on each end.”

“The pulpit was at the far end facing the doors.  The pump organ was on the left.  In winter, a big coal stove was set up with the predictable result: those in the front were partially roasted while the members farther back shivered.  In the 1850’s, grandma’s father, William McKenney, was minister there.  He preached long sermons.
