The Sprucetown Congregation was organized in 1830 and held meetings on the Sankey farm. The church building was erected in 1842 on a tract of land deeded from James Potter and his wife, Susan, and John Potter and his wife, Amelia, to James Sankey, John Turner, Sr., and Daniel Livingston, trustees. The building committee consisted of George Michael, Daniel Livingston, John Towner and James Sankey. The Rev. Houghawont presided at the dedication. The old church was torn down in 1872 and the present structure was built at the cost of $4,200.

There were no major changes within the church until 1943 when kerosene lights were replaced with electricity. In 1960, the three coal and wood burning stoves were removed and a furnace installed. The old steeple was torn down in 1964 because of the danger of it falling and was replaced with a belfry.

The year of 1968 brought another change when it was discovered that the foundation of the church was in poor condition. The logs in the floor were replaced and the downstairs took on the look of paneling, tile floor and new lighting fixtures.
