Established in 1888. The church’s public Facebook page, posted at their 125th year anniversary in 2013, gives some history:
A group of neighbors in the community began meeting to worship together in the 1870’s, purchased land to build on in 1884, then chartered on February 18, 1888 with the N. GA Conference of Methodists as part of the Brookton Circuit with four other churches.
The original building is still used every Sunday.
Original trustees whose names appear on the 1884 property deed: A.F. Goudalek, Harris Cantrell, John C. Gilstrap, his cousin John Gilstrap, S.B. McDonald, witnessed by Benjamin Head and J.N. O’Kelly, J.P.
