A Brief History of the Church :

John and Thomas Moore were the first Covenanters to come this area in March 1820. Others soon followed. Most had left South Carolina because of their anti-slavery views and chose to settle in Indiana because the state did not allow slavery. The Reformed Presbyterian Church of Bloomington, Indiana was organized on October 10, 1821. The first meeting place was a log house at 406 West 10th Street which was known as the Blair Farm. The church was reorganized in 1823, and again in 1833. Approximately half of the then 120 members left at this time and united with the "New School" (or "New Light") Congregation which later became the United Presbyterian Church. After this division, services were held in private homes, barns, or school buildings.

The present church structure was built during the pastorate of G. M. Robb. Around 1926, the church building on South Walnut was sold to the Harry Stephens Company for $10,000 and a plot of ground on the corner of S. Lincoln and First St. (now 302 East First Street) was purchased. The current church building was dedicated on this site on October 21, 1927.
