A congregational society was formed in Augusta's log school on September 7, 1797 with nine charter members. Services were held in private homes until our present building was completed in 1816.
The congregation became Presbyterian in 1828 when it joined the Oneida Presbytery. In 1866 it became a member of the Utica Presbytery. At that time there were 400 members. Three churches have been formed out of our congregation: Second Congregational in Oriskany Falls (1833), Deansboro Congregational (1853) and Knoxboro Presbyterian (1872).
Our building has been renovated several times including the installation of the basement in the 1880s. At that time a spire and bell were also added. The belfry was removed in 1952. In the 1990s the basement was extensively remodeled. The church has been recently resided. On January 1, 2006 the church merged with the Vernon Center Presbyterian Church which was founded in 1802. Worship continues at the Augusta Church after the merger.
