Our church began its life in a grove of walnut trees along the banks of the Davidson River near the present town of Pisgah Forest about the year 1800. The Reverend George Newton of Swannanoa established camp grounds west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, one of them being Walnut Grove. While most early church records have been lost, fragmentary accounts indicate a Presbyterian Church was located in Pisgah Forest by 1800.
The first permanent structure was built about 1826 when Benjamin Davidson donated the grove to the trustees for a "free meeting house." The Civil War caused a schism in the church, and the northern and southern groups met in locations about two miles apart until 1896 when they again became one church.
