Concord Presbyterian Church (North Carolina)

The Concord Presbyterian Church was founded as an offshoot of the Fourth Creek Congregation in 1775.

It was located west of the Fourth Creek Congregation that later became the center of the city of Statesville, North Carolina.

The Concord congregation was located two miles west of the Fourth Creek congregation near Morrison's mill about a mile south of the current location of the church in what was later called Loray, North Carolina.

[3][5] The first elders of the Concord church were James Adams, James Purviance, John Purviance, William Watts, William McKnight, Samuel Harris, Abraham Hill and Thomas Morrison.

After the U.S. Civil War many of the black families in the area began worshipping at the nearby Logan Presbyterian Church.
