Located within the borders of Drury's campus, Springfield's oldest African-American church building has taken on a new function. Relocated and renovated in 2001, the church is now home to Drury's Diversity Center.

The church was painstakingly taken down brick by brick and rebuilt across the street to make room for the new Trustee Science Center. Drury University uses the church as a place to acknowledge the multi-cultural heritage of Springfield. The Diversity Center has become an educational facility to build intercultural understanding and harmony.
