| Marker Text |
Methodist services were held in the homes of area settlers as early as the 1840s. In 1901 the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was deeded land in Harleton where they built a sanctuary. Membership expanded and in 1914 Trustee R. W. Taylor supervised the building of a new brick sanctuary at this site. The congregation has historically shared its church building with other local organizations. The congregation became Harleton United Methodist Church in 1970. The church continues to sponsor various outreach programs and provide spiritual guidance for the community. |
