Capitol
Heights United Methodist Church
|
 The Capitol Heights United Methodist Church had its beginning in 1832, as a Methodist Protestant Church, located on Coosa Street between Bibb and Tallapoosa Streets. The building was destroyed by fire 2 years later. A new church was built on the corner of Bibb and Molton Streets in 1842. In 1924 a new building was completed on the corner of Winona Avenue and Florida Street. This location was chosen because Capitol Heights was a new and rapidly growing area. The name was changed to Capitol Heights Methodist Protestant Church. In 1939, the church became the Capitol Heights Methodist Church. In 1952 much of the church was destroyed by fire. Between 1953 and 1958, an Educational Building, parsonage and sanctuary was built. In 1968, the Methodist Church and the United Brethren Church joined together and the church was named Capitol Heights United Methodist Church. Dr. Charles C. Hays, Ir., the present pastor, arrived in 1997. In 1998 a Capital Improvement Program was begun, with many repairs and improvements and some alterations. Today the church remains a vital pant of the historic and spiritual life of the community. |
