Mr. Noble held church services in his home until the congregation could afford to rent a building in downtown Grafton. In 1921 he arranged to purchase the location where they built the church which is now our home. Over the years the building has been well maintained and upgraded so that we have a church that is air-conditioned, remodeled and handicapped accessible. We invite you to visit with us when you come to our area of West Virginia. We have beautiful mountains in all seasons, some very fine recreation areas such as Tygart Lake State Park which is just on the outskirts of town.
Cheat Lake is just outside of Morgantown.
It is the site where the first person was killed in the Civil War in a military action between the Union and Confederate Army. That was the cause of the first battle of the Civil War. Confederate troops headquartered fourteen miles south in the town of Phillippi and five miles west in the town of Pruntytown marched on Grafton to take over the rail yard there. When they arrived they were faced by Union troops under the command of General George McClellan who had the mountain top above the town fortified with cannons which were used to drive the Confederates back. General McClellan's soldiers pursued the rebels back to the town of Phillippi where the first Civil War battle resulted in a Union victory.
