Boyce Memorial Association Reformed
Presbyterian Church has its origin in the Pisgah
Church near Crowders Mountain. It seems that the
Pisgah Church served members in Gaston and
base of the pinnacle of Kings Mountain. This
church was active in the late 1700's. Around 1796
this church split into what was to become Pisgah
and Bethany ARP Churches. In 1855 Dr. Ebenezer
Erskine Boyce was directed to divide the Pisgah
congregation. The Cleveland County members
formed the Mt. Nebo Church which met in a
comfortable frame building where Waco Road and
Watterson Street intersect today. This church was
active for twenty years. In 1876 two congregations -
formed from the members of the Mt. Nebo Church.
Thus the Bethel and Kings Mountain Churches
began.
The Kings Mountain ARP Church was located on East King Street, two
blocks from the old City Hall, which was then the home of Mrs. Minnie
Crawford. This was the first church of any denomination ever built in the city
of Kings. Mountain. The building was a weather-board structure painted white
which was built at a cost of $700.00. The land was given by Mr. Robert Falls.
This building served the congregation until 1898.
In 1898 the name was changed to Boyce Memorial to honor the church's
first pastor. At that time the congregation moved into a new building on the
corner of Piedmont Ave. and King Street. With the rapid growth of the
membership an educational building was added to the church in 1925. This
site remained as the church's home until 1962 when they held the first
worship service in their new educational building on the corner of King Street
and Edgemont Drive. The old facility had been sold to the Catholic Church.
The educational building served as a sanctuary during the pastorate of
Rev. L. Thomas Ritchie. In 1969 Boyce Memorial called Dr. Charles Edwards
as pastor and in 1974 the congregation held a ground breaking service to
prepare for the building of its present sanctuary. A dedication service was held
in 1975 when the congregation moved into the new building. Dr. Edwards
remained at Boyce Memorial until 1979 when he retired. Rev. William Tyson
was called and led the congregation until 1989 when he moved to a church in
Florida. Boyce Memorial was fortunate to have Rev. Harold Mace serve as
interim pastor during the search for a new minister. A formal call was issued
to Rev. William Barron and he began his pastorate on July 1, 1990. Boyce
Memorial continues to be a force in this community where its roots are deep.
