The first service held by the Methodists after the incorporation of Montezuma in 1854 was held under a brush arbor near the Felton Cemetery.  Soon a one-room wood building was constructed and used for both a school and a church.  The Montezuma M. E. Church was formally organized on 17 February 1867. A new wooden church was built on Dooly Street in 1887. In 1916, Reverend Guyton Fisher, oversaw the construction of the present church. The first service in this new sanctuary was held on 25 March 1917, with Rev. Robert Kerr as pastor. T. Firth Lockwood, Jr., of Columbus, was the architect. It’s known as Montezuma United Methodist Church today.
