Demopolis Methodist Church

On the Marengo Circuit from 1826 to 1839, Demopolis Methodist Church was founded in 1840. A great revival followed in 1843. Its first building was erected from 1840 to 1843 and remodeled in 1848 on a lot donated by the Rev. A. J. Crawford. Two early pastors later became bishops: John C. Keener, who served in 1843 to 1844, and Holland N. McTyeire, who served in 1846. The present building was erected in 1895 to 1896, designed by B. D. Price of Philadelphia, and dedicated on April 24, 1904, by Bishop W. W. Candler.
