The History or Story
In 1851, land was donated to build the first Middle Creek sanctuary, a log structure. That deed charged the trustees to build a “ Methodist Church or meeting house for the worship of Almighty God.” The stately structure where the church now holds services was dedicated on May 18, 1902.
In the earlier years of the Middle Creek community the Church and School were near the center of the Community. Just across the road (Middle Creek) was a train depot and country store. Neither exist any longer, some traces of depressions and graded cuts from the railroad can be fund with some searching. The train — Smoky Mountain Railroad ran from Knoxville to Pigeon Forge. As the population shifts with new roads and subdivisions our history changes. However we are interested in exploring the past as we progress.
