This beautiful church was constructed between 1916-1917. S. S. Kemp was the pastor at the time. J. J. DuPriest, C. T. Lumpkin, and W. D. Royal made up the Building Committee.

I attended church and Sunday School there when I was growing up!
I gave my life and joined the chucrch here at Shingler Methodist church. So many fond memories of Easter egg hunts, dinners on the ground.
Great photo Brian. I really love these old churches and the skill with which they were built. No ordinary builder could put an entrance on a corner the way this one was. As they say “simple but elegant “.
