HINESVILLE METHODIST
CHURCH
The year 1837 marked the founding
of Hinesville and the establishment of the Hinesville Methodist
Church. For one hundred years this was the only church in HInesville.
The first services were held in a small frame building near the
Bradwell Institute on Courthouse Square. A larger structure was
later erected and used until 1942 when the church built a new
edifice at the corner of main Street and Memorial Drive. In 1985
a new building was completed.
The first recorded trustees
of the church were Edward Way, E.O. Andrews, John Wells, Thomas
Sheppard and David Zoucks.
In 1987 the congregation celebrated
one hundred and fifty years of doing the Lord's work in HInesville.
