The historic white frame church was built in 1902 and named in honor of Reverend Sam Black, a circuit-riding Southern Methodist preacher who died in 1899.[3] It is a small one story building with a gable roof. It features a square, open bell tower with a hipped roof. It is located at the intersection of Interstate 64 and U.S. Route 60 on the Midland Trail, a National Scenic Byway.[4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
