This church was organized in 1816 by
Rev. Elijah Metcalf with 10 members. The congregation
originally met in homes, then in a log school house. The
first church building was built around 1826. The second church was built on the present site in 1837 and was used until 1854. The third church building burned to the ground in 1949. The present church was built in its place that same year, and was dedicated debt free in 1950. The Sunday School in 1866 was the largest in the history of the church, numbering 255 including teachers. In 1881 the ladies of the church met and organized the Ladies Aid Society. This group is still active today! They are now the United Methodist Women. |
