Church History

Over 100 years ago, in 1888, Mt. Comfort United Methodist Church was established in its present location, although the roots of the church began 60 years earlier.

The ancestors of our founders set out in 1840 on a grand mission, to bring the word of God to the community by providing a house of worship.  From log cabin, to wood frame to brick, down through the years, through joy, tragedy, depression and prosperity, from one generation to the next, the members of Mt. Comfort have accepted the same promise, to keep this church, in the words of our founders, as a place of divine worship.

The church has changed physically, but the spirit remains the same, for the spirit is God's and the church belongs not to us, but to Him.
