Our History
Prior to 1881, the Methodists of Leesville had to travel two miles by horse and buggy over muddy roads to be part of a Methodist congregation served by a circuit rider. On December 8, 1880, D.T. Barr made a motion that Leesville Church be received in the circuit of the Gilbert Hollow Charge, Columbia District. The motion was adopted. On January 25, 1881, a one-acre lot on Old Augusta Highway was purchased for forty dollars, and a wooden structure was built. The church was chartered on Easter Sunday, 1881.
