Pastor Rich Welcome to the little church in the wildwood! Rose for the sum of $10.00. In 1962, a former member, James A.

Howellsville United Methodist Church was organized about 1832, but did not have a church building of its own until 1848. A plot of ground was purchased at this time, according to an old deed recorded in the Warren County Court House, in March of 1848 from John W. The church foundation was built of native rock and the logs for the walls were dragged out of the woods with mules. All logs were hand h

ewn and put together by local artisans of the congregation and the people of the neighborhood. The church was originally heated with a stone fireplace and had a door on one side of the building. This original church still stands but has gone through several remodeling experiences. Originally there was only one window and it was then in the back of the structure. The church was illuminated with coal oil lamps attached to the walls in old fashioned iron brackets. It has a loft or balcony, pine pilasters to under-gird it and pews of pine. The altar area is unusually interesting in that it is a high pulpit so that the pastor can be observed both from the balcony and the main floor of the church. The pulpit area is an admirable work of cabinet making and it is to be admired. There are God's Eyes of wood on the altars that are unique and different. You can tell that the woodwork was all done with hand tools for you can detect this if you are familiar with old and beautiful antique furniture and interior woodwork. The church of logs was later covered with wood weather-boarding, double doors were placed to what is now the front of the church and more windows were added. The fireplace was replaced with a stove placed in the middle of the church. The church remained open for worship until 1938 when it was closed for ten years. The church was placed on the Linden Charge in 1948 and reopened. Berry left the church some money in his will and the church and cemetery were restored.
