This church is no longer in Mecklenburg Co. and has been included because the members first met 2 miles north of Davidson College in the Osbornes Meeting House and organized in 1765. The name was chosen because of its relation to other settlements. The original building was destroyed by fire in 1775 and Centre was rebuilt in its present location.
The church was rebuilt in 1920 and 1985. Some surnames are Rush, Trapp, Nealy, Adams, Caldwell, Gibson and Connor. This is not a complete list of burial records. The cemetery is on the side of the church and is visible from the road.
