Before 1910, Christoval Methodists, Baptists, and Cumberland Presbyterians worshiped together in the Cumberland Presbyterian church building, where circuit riders from the three denominations preached on alternate Sundays. After Baptists built their own structure in 1910, area Methodists continued worshiping with Cumberland Presbyterians for many years. The records of the Christoval Methodist congregation date from 1923. In 1926, with the Rev. J.E. Young as pastor, the Methodists erected and occupied a red brick church at the corner of Second and McKee streets, helped by fundraising projects held during several Fourth of July celebrations to defray the building loan. In its early years, church women organized the Women’s Missionary Society, whose first major project raised money for the Methodist’s orphan’s home. A men’s nondenominational Sunday school class was established in 1951. A parsonage was built in 1947 at a cost of $1,200, and an educational building was erected in 1956. Further additions and renovations followed as needed, including three classrooms built in memory of Clarence Atkins McMillan in 1983. Former pastors and longtime members were honored at a church homecoming in 1978 and at a 75th anniversary celebration in 1998. Through continuing worship and community service, including an annual barbecue hosted by the men’s nondenominational Sunday school class, Christoval United Methodist Church continues the traditions of its founders.
