In March 1837, the Reverend Washington Jackson formed a Methodist congregation in Dibbleville, present-day Fenton, at the home of Levi Warren. Warren donated land, and the first church was built in 1853, but its brick walls collapsed during the construction of a basement. A new brick church was built in 1869 and burned in 1929. In 1930, the congregation laid the cornerstone for the present church, the third on this site. After delays during the Depression, this Neo-Gothic church was dedicated in 1938.
