(Author unknown & undated)
Furnished by Carl Kinney & Bertha Webb, transcribed by William Boggess
BRISTOL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH WAS ORGANIZED AS BRISTOL METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, June 28, 1861, WHEN THE FOUNDERS DAVID W. BOGGESS, DR. J.B. CONAWAY, MATTHIAS W. DAVIS, SAM GOOD AND NOAH KEESEY MET IN THE TANNERY BUILDING, ON FLINDERATION ROAD.
SERVICES WERE HELD IN THIS BUILDING, UNTIL 1866, WHEN THE FIRST CHURCH, A ONE-ROOM FRAME BUILDING, WAS BUILT ON THE SOUTHSIDE OF THE NORTHWESTERN PIKE, LATER NAMED U.S. ROUTE 50. THIS BUILDING, LIGHTED BY OIL LAMPS AND HEATED WITH COAL, WAS COMPLETE WITH A BELL DONATED BY DAVID W. BOGGESS AND A PULPIT MADE BY NOAH KEESEY. THIS ORIGINAL BELL AND PULPIT CONTINUE TO BE USED IN CHURCH TODAY. THERE WERE WORSHIP SERVICES, SUNDAY, SCHOOL, EPWORTH LEAGUE, CLASS MEETING AND MID-WEEK PRAYER MEETING HELD HERE.
ON AUGUST 30, 1926, THE CORNERSTONE WAS LAID FOR A BEAUTIFUL RED TAPESTRY BRICK BUILDING, ON THE NORTHSIDE OF U.S. ROUTE 50, WHICH WAS COMPLETED AND DEDICATED JUNE 26, 1927, AT A COST OF $18,000.
IN 1965, WHEN U.S. ROUTE 50 WAS TO BE EXPANDED TO A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY, THEY CHOSE TO KEEP IT AND HAVE IT MOVED. WITH THE SALE OF THE CHURCH BRINGING $36,000, IT WAS MOVED IN 1966-67 TO ITS PRESENT SITE ON CHURCH DRIVE, AT A COST OF $22,500. THE REMAINDER OF THE $36,000 WAS USED IN THE BUILDING OF THE NEW PARSONAGE.
