Funds collected during the General Superintendence of Rev. Thomas Truscott by building. Boats went from Dublin to the Bumpe River where shells were obtained and subsequently burnt into lime. Stones for the building were blasted on the island. The women brought sand from the wharf, and so the foundation of the building was laid in 1887 by Rev. Thomas Truscott.

The total membership of the church has considerably dwindled as members migrate to Freetown in search of their livelihood. It is of interest that the structure built in the late 1880s is still standing.
