In 1833, a group of Christians assembled under the shelter of oak trees, called a brush arbor, with a well nearby to worship God. The brush arbor served as their sanctuary for some time and was the beginning of St. Phillip African Methodist Episcopal Church. Today, a modernized brick sanctuary now stands in rural Richland County.
