Holly - Huntersville Road Charlotte, NC Surveyed by Ken Luckey and Donna Johnson on Saturday, October 24, 1998 The church was established in the 1880's when the minister at Paw Creek Presbyterian Church, the Rev. George L. Cook, began a chapel. In 1887, a building was erected on old Highway 16 where the people continued to worship. Then on December 19, 1891, a church was organized with 36 members and named for its first pastor, Rev. George L. Cook. The little church was encouraged and sponsored by Paw Creek Presbyterian Church. The church has continued to grow and prosper over the years, thanks are to God. The cemetery is located behind the church buildings, and is in excellent condition.
