Egg Hill Church, one of the first Evangelical churches in Penn's Valley, was built on fifty-six perches of land deeded by John and Mary Dauberman on May 4th, 1838 to William Carson and Jacob Peters. By September twenty-first and twenty-second, of that same year, the Duabermans, Hennighs, Dillmans, Schefflers, Peters, and Carsons dedicated a wooden church on the site. The Church and adjoining cemetery were so named because it was located on a bluff of a hill which locals claimed to be egg-shaped.

Members constructed the present building in 1860 on the foundations of their earlier church structure, which had been razed. Except for the loss of the steeple, removed in 1970 due to deterioration, the building in its isolated setting appears much the same as it did over 100 years ago. The severe structure reflects the principle of humility to which the Evangelical followers aspired. Its simplicity is evident on the facade, which has only two wall openings--a modestly detailed entrance and a very small, triangular gable window which repeats the shape of the roof line. The church's stark appearance is relieved somewhat by the visual pattern of the board and batten siding.
