The foundation of Fuller Church was laid in 1892 when a Sunday School was organized to meet the demands of a sparsely settled mill village. There was no other Sunday School in the community, then known as the Commonwealth Community, now Edgemont. Under the leadership of Messers. J.D. Wilbon, W.H. Hanks, and T.B. Fuller, no time was lost with starting a Sunday School at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Martin. Persons interested was a membership of twenty-six.

The first Chapel was on Angier Avenue. It was used for a number of years as a missioon. As the mission increased in membership, the officials and members, feeling a need, erected a new Chapel on the corner of Alston and Morning Glory Avenue. After a few years, there was reason for this Chapel to be replaced. The Chapel was moved to the corner of Alston Avenue and East Main Street. It was then known as the Edgemont Presbyterian Chapel.

On September 26, 1909, a Commission was appointed by Orange Presbytery to organize a church in Edgemont. A frame building, erected on the corner of Alston Avenue and East Main Street, served the membership until 1924 when it was torn down to make room for the brick building which still stands. With the construction of the new building the name of the church was changed to the Fuller Memorial Presbyterian Church in memory of the late T.B. Fuller who in 1914 had changed his membership from the First Presbyterian Church to the church that was destined to carry his name. The Fuller Memorial Presbyterian Church was dedicated in 1928.

On July 25, 1971, a congregational meeting was held and the purchase of land at the corner of Pleasant Drive Extension and Mineral Springs Road was approved. On August 19, 1973, the congregation voted to withdraw from P.C.U.S. and Orange Presbytery and in November of that year voted to join Mid-Atlantic Presbytery of the P.C.A. On November 3, 1974 the sale of the church property at the corner of Alston Avenue and East Main Street was approved by the congregation. On November 4, 1977, the first evening worship service was held in our new building on Pleasant Drive. June 4, 1978 was our first week of full worship services in our new location.

On June 24, 1990, the Congregation voted to withdraw from the PCA and on June 28, 1992 voted to seek affiliation with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. Fuller Memorial Presbyterian Church was formally welcomed into the full fellowship of First Presbytery of the ARP Church at a Service of Reception at Fuller on Sunday, August 23, 1992.

On January 15, 1995 the Congregation voted to extend an offer to purchase the lot adjacent to the Church property. In late August, the offer was accepted. The vacant lot across the street from the Church was sold and final payment for the property adjacent to the Church was made on November 15, 1995.

2009 is a year to remember and honor those Christian Saints who have gone on to be with the Lord as well as many who remain with us who have made our history and therefore this 100th Anniversary a reality. Let us reflect on our history and these loved ones, and then turn our attention forward and pray for God’s guidance as we seek His divine direction for the pages of history yet to be written in the worship and work of His people here in the Fuller Memorial Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church.
