Little River-Dominick is the oldest Presbyterian church in Newberry County. It was established as Little River in 1764 by the Hanover Presbytery meeting in Augusta County, Virginia. Rev. James Creswell was the first minister; Colonel James Williams, Angus Campbell, and James Burnside were its first elders. Its congregation, including members of the Hunter, Griffin, Simpson, Nance, Caldwell, Luke, Crawford, Williams, Clarke, Golding, and Burnside families, furnished civil and military leaders of this section of South Carolina before the Civil War. It was one of fifty-four churches belonging to the South Carolina Presbytery during the short life of the Confederate States of America. The original church building was located next to the old cemetery; the latter has been restored by Champion International. After the Civil War the building was moved into Laurens County near Milton, a distance of four miles from its original site. In 1913, the Dominick Presbyterian Church was established about twelve miles from Newberry and south fo the Belfast Road. It remained a small church, and the congregation of Little River dwindled. The two congregations agreed to unite, and did so in 1938; the new church, known as Little River-Dominick, boasted of 101 members. A new church was erected by the congregation on land donated by Champion International; in 1947 a manse was erected on land given by Patrick Dickson. The church began to grow and has thrived ever since. Members of the Davenport, Johnson, Stewart, Boozer, Livingston, Oxner, Harmon, and Simpson families are members of this church. In January 1990, the Rev. Lawton Daugherty, a former pastor of this church, returned. n
