Augspurger held services at the Railroad schoolhouse, four miles (6.5 km) east of Pekin. The congregation was organized in 1905, with Allen Miller as minister. It continued to worship at the Railroad schoolhouse until 1910, when a new church was built about three miles (5 km) east of Pekin. In 1952 the membership was 70 (in 2005, 34). It was a member of the Central Conference (now Central District Conference).
