The First Methodist Church in Blooming Grove was organized about 1890 by L.D.
Simpson, S.A. Hodges, A.A. Roberts, Hinton C. Ivy, J.P. Willeford and others and
the first house of worship was erected on the present site soon after
organization.  It is not known if any charter member of the church survives.

The church has a present membership of 262 and is active through its auxiliaries
in all the phases of the work of the denomination.  The church building now in
use was built in 1913 under the pastorate of Dr. E.B. Hawk.

Throughout almost all of the history of the church there has been an active
Woman's Missionary Society. Mrs. Maggie Richards, the only surviving charter
members, is still active in the work.

Pastors who have served this church are Bros Majors, Musset, Vughn, Galligar,
Odom, Clark, Evans, Wiseman, Chappell, Hawk, Bryan, Herron, Little, Walker,
Clark, Wagoner, Kornagee, Morton, Story, Shuler, Noe, Utley, Whitefield,
McDaniel and Van P. Morrison.
