On
August 27, 1883 the Board of Missions voted to "establish a mission
between Blount's Creek and the Cape Fear River in the town of Fayetteville
to be known as Campbellton Mission." On February 8, 1886 under
the leadership of inaugural Pastor J.J. Grigg a church was organized
and the first church building was completed. In 1887 the mission was
placed under the guidance of Hay Street Church, by 1893 the little church
at Campbellton had gained considerable momentum with over 125 members
on both the Church and Sunday School rolls.On June 23, 1911 the Campbellton
property was sold and the Church building was moved to its present location
on Person Street, the house next door was purchased and used as a parsonage.
During a five year period beginning in 1948 several renovations were
completed including the addition of a new education building, a brick
exterior, and new furnishings. At the 1952 session of Conference, after
several years as a charge church, Calvery and Victory Churches were
removed making a station appointment of Person Street Church.
