Saint John Christian Methodist Episcopal Church

Saint John Christian Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1875 as Saint John Christian Methodist Episcopal Chapel and held its initial services in a sanctuary in the local Freedman community known as Brushtown. The Rev. E.W. Moseley (1854-1911) served as its first pastor. The church relocated here in 1912, and in 1926 contractors J.A. Simmons and Jerry Wall completed this 2-story Greek Revival sanctuary during the pastorship of the Rev. J.E. Raines. It features a central pedimented temple entry with four ionic columns rising from a grand entry staircase, defined bays on all sides, and pilasters.
