Founded in 1837 alongside Hinesville, Hinesville Methodist Church was the town’s only church for one hundred years. Its 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 a new church building was constructed at the corner of Main Street and Memorial Drive. In 1985, a new building was completed. The first recorded trustees 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.
