From the South Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church: The date for the beginning of this church is unknown, but it is at present in its fourth building. The first building was on the Boyd Plantation, the second, a church building of sawed lumber, and the third, built in 1868, was a white painted one. Fire destroyed one of the buildings, but the pulpit furniture was saved and is at use in the present building which was completed in 1913-1914. It has 20 stained glass windows…

any info available on the POPE family of Lumber City? It’s believed they attended this church in it’s early years.
