The roots of Fisher Memorial Church trace back to 1929, when the Fisher family began gathering for an annual reunion on the fourth Sunday in August. These early gatherings were held at various locations until 1938, when the group chose a meaningful site: the old Dudden School grounds at the fork of Dudden and Fisher Ridge Roads. This location became the home for not only the reunion but also an annual fall revival.

In September 1942, inspired by a shared desire to honor the memory of Leonard G. and Hannah Fisher, a group of family members and friends came together to dream bigger. That day, they began planning a church that would serve future generations. The founding group included:

Ed Fisher, Marco Garnes, Parvin Cunningham, Corbett Fisher, Hobson Fisher, R. L. (Bob) Fisher, W. O. Fisher, and Roy Pfost.

Thanks to a generous land donation from R. L. (Bob) Fisher (recorded in Deed Book 122, Page 181), construction of the church began that fall. Just a few months later, in January 1943, the first worship service was held — marking the official beginning of Fisher Memorial Church.

From a family gathering to a thriving community of faith, Fisher Memorial Church was built on the love of God, the strength of family, and a heart for service. We continue to honor that legacy as we grow, worship, and serve together today. We are a Board and Pastor led church, governed by a group of Trustees, based on the original foundations established for Fisher Memorial Church.
