BETHEL METHODIST CHURCH

According to church historian DeLores Smith, Bethel Methodist
Church (on Causey Road) was in a state of disrepair in 1938
when W. A. Smith gave the church land about three miles away on
Sandy Point Road so the church could be moved to a more
populated area. 

In 1939 the old building was torn down (did not burn) and much
of it used for the new building. 

The church history says, "The floor joists beneath the
sanctuary of the present church are the same ones used in the
first building, making the current sanctuary the same size as
the entire original church. Two side Sunday school rooms and a
long room behind the pulpit were added at the time of the
move."
