One-hundred and eight years ago, on the corner of 18th and Mars Street (Avenue), Summerville had its beginning in the home of the late Deacon and Sister Robert Perkins. Prayer meetings were held every Sunday afternoon. These prayer meetings and bible studies grew rapidly. Many souls were saved. Soon afterwards, enough funds were raised to purchase land on the corner of 20th and Mars Street (Avenue). Subsequently a building was erected.
