Forest Chapel Church, circa 1920's

Forrest Chapel United Methodist Church

One of the first churches of any denomination in the Hartselle area was Forrest Chapel Methodist which was founded in the early 1820's. The church was located about five miles west of Hartselle in a one-room building.

In 1915, construction began on a new building. Seats were taken from the old building and used in the new facility until they were replaced in 1937. When the new seats were built, they were varnished by the Women's Society of Christian Service, organized in 1935.
