Our History

  • 1835

    The first pastor appointed to the Dahlonega Mission (by the Georgia Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church) was Henry P. Pitchford.

  • 1839/1840

    The Methodist Church purchased land on Park Street, and the first house of worship is believed to have been erected the following year under the leadership of Pastor Rueben E. Oslin. Thus, the Dahlonega Methodist Church is the oldest establishment which has been in business continuously at the same location in Dahlonega.

  • 1929/1930

    The frame Sanctuary was demolished and a new brick Sanctuary was built during the Great Depression under the leadership of Pastor Jesse B. Smith. Three forgotten graves of Revolutionary War soldiers were found and moved during the excavation.

  • 2008/2009

    The Sanctuary was demolished and the current Sanctuary built on the same site during the Recession of 2009. The beautiful stained glass windows, steeple bell, baptismal font and Moroccan-style chandeliers were transferred to the new Sanctuary.
