Historical Sketch

Methodism began in Brownsburg in 1828 with the appointment of Rev. Joseph Tarkington to the White Lick Circuit which included seven churches in the area. Services were held in a little red schoolhouse. A small brick church was built in 1837. In 1872 a larger church was erected on East Main Street. In 1923 it was replaced by a much larger modern building. A new church home was completed at 409 S. Green Street in 1959.
