General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Dwkaminski: Good article. though there is a possible concern with copyvios (specifically with how some sentences seem a tiny bit close to the cumberland county article) but I don't feel as if it's too big of a deal. Though a rewording of some sentences would still be perferred. Onegreatjoke (talk) 03:24, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Big gap

[edit]

The "History" section of this article skips from the Civil War to the 1990s, a gap of some 130 years. What happened during that time? Did the congregation remain large until the end of that period, or did it begin to shrivel soon after the war? Or was there a drop during the Great Northward Migration, when factory towns were attractive to those seeking work?

The belfry also seems to have no bell in it now. When was that removed? Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 23:04, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
