Darlington Church History and Origins of Center Grove
The Darlington Christian Church traces to September 20 1848 with founders Nancy Frances Thomas Mikles and wife John Butcher and wife and Mr McDole and wife. Ground was donated in 1856 for a church at Sec 14 Franklin township, named Center Grove Church. The building burned in 1864 and the church moved to Darlington meeting in the Presbyterian Church until 1866 when the present structure began under Rev W T Warbritton.
