The First Religious Society of Homer gave the land for the church and the Village Green (adjacent to the church), and construction was completed in 1803. The church was replaced beginning in 1860, and the current building was dedicated in 1863. The current church is located where the former church stood.

With thanks to the Cortland County Historical Society, especially Sophie Clough, its collections and research assistant.
