This Methodist church features three large stained-glass windows with the Star of David motif, traditionally a symbol of the Jewish faith. The Star of David was common among many sects during the late Victorian era. According to Bob Peavy: The congregation of Oliver Methodist Church was established in 1907. My father was christened there in 1919; his father’s farm was a very few miles down Old Louisville Road just across Wallowing Branch (in adjacent Effingham County), and the family likely attended from the congregation’s beginning. The Methodist Church there had no cemetery; the white families of the area had been buried nearby at Little Ogeechee Baptist Church (which had been established in 1790.)

Illuminating the difficulties of tracking down church histories, Bob later wrote: A history of the town of Oliver, written in 1942 by Pauline Smith…indicated that the congregation was founded in 1899, and that this building was erected in 1912. The last church sign indicated that it was established in 1907 (I’ve not yet verified dates).

The church has most recently been used as a restaurant, Oliver on 24.
