BRIEF HISTORY OF STARK METHODIST CHURCH
Stark Methodist Church was organized in 1883.
The Church was first named Weather's Chapel, for C. V. Weathers, the first pastor. Later this name was changed to "Stark" to reflect the name of the community. Stark Church was formed by the consolidation of Keys Church and Pleasant Grove Church.
We still worship in the same building, which was built when the Church was organized. When the Church was first built, it was an unpainted, unsealed, hulled-in frame building. Originally it was a large rectangular room. In the early years a pot-bellied stove was in the center of the room to provide heat. Oil lamps along the walls were used for lighting. During the years, many outstanding improvements have been made to the building to make it the comfortable, attractive place of worship it is today.
