Calvary's History
In 1776, this church became a reality in a sod
house
just a short distance from its present location.
By
1827, a log cabin had been built at what is now
3939
Gamber Road. That year also saw the congregation
divide over style of governing within the church
and
form Providence M.P. Church and Mount Pleasant
M.E. Church.
In 1872 the first brick
sanctuary was erected and
that was replaced in 1907 by the church structure.
Calvary
Methodist Church emerged out of the reunion of
the
Providence and Mt. Pleasant churches. The
merger of
Methodist and E.U.B. denominations in 1968 established
the
Calvary United Methodist Congregation.
