Jefferson Methodist Church stands on two acres of land deeded by John D. Catlin on May 30, 1842, to Daniel E. Ellis, James Turner, David Compton and John Besteder, trustee of the Methodist Episcopal Church known as Asbury Meeting House. This early Greek Revival building was dedicated on the first Sunday in June, 1856, by Reverend Phillip Phillips Neely, a minister from Marion, Alabama. Services were held on the second and fourth Sundays at 9 a.m.
