Founding members of Quinn Chapel started meeting in their homes in 1870 with an itinerant minister. In 1871, Rev. G. W. Gaines officially organized the church. The first church of the congregation was built in 1889 between 10th and 11th on E Street. It was 2.5 stories tall with a 60 foot tall spire.

The building was moved to 925 C Street in 1915.
