First United Methodist Church

Faith
11
Founded in 1823, the church received title to this property in 1830 from the Inferior Court of Bainbridge. An initial building was erected about 1840 and during the 1850s was also used for services by Baptists and Presbyterians. In 1854 an enlarged wooden structure was completed and served the congregation until 1899, when a brick facility was built. Fire destroyed the church in 1906, but it was replaced by the present structure, which hosted the 1911 South Georgia Annual Conference.
