According to Utah State preservation specialist Mardita Murphy, it is "the oldest surviving building in Duschesne County".[2]

After the church was closed it was put up for sale, and journalist Reed Cowan purchased it intending to use it as a second home. However he came to understand the local community importance of the church and chose to keep it open to the public instead.[2]

It is open for use for weddings and other events.[3]
