Formerly known as Spencerville Free Methodist Church, Crossway Christian Church, begun in the summer of 1899, the first Free Methodist tent meeting was held on Colesville Road at Clovely, Maryland. Rev. A.G. Miller, a Free Methodist missionary-evangelist was the speaker. The fall of that year, with sixteen charter members, Rev. A.G. Miller organized worship to what become Spencerville Free Methodist church. Services were held in the Spencerville Hall until the fall of 1905.

In the summer of 1905 work began on the original church on the ground next to the Spencerville Hall. The ground that the original church was built on was donated by Mr. Albert Sargent. A golden Anniversary celebration was observed in 1949 while Rev. L.H. Kelley was the pastor.

During the years of 1952-1954 the building was relocated back of the street and was extensively remodeled. The Rev. W.N Snider and the Rev. C.H. Barnett were pastors during this period. The Cornerstone was laid in October 1954 and is easily see at the front right side of the church.
