Mount Hermon United Methodist Church (Mount Hermon, La.)
Biography
Mount Hermon United Methodist Church was located at 30428 Spurlock Road, Mount Hermon, Louisiana.
The Mount Hermon church was organized in 1874 by Rev. Thomas Walker Adams. Services were held in a log schoolhouse at first. A church was later constructed on property donated by David Jackson Ott. The church was part of the Franklinton circuit of the Mississippi Conference in those days.
In 1917, a lot was purchased for $20 from F. R. Miller. A new wood-frame church was built. This church was damaged by a tornado in 1948 and was soon repaired. A 1964 storm damaged the church so badly that a new building was planned. The new church was completed, and the first service was held on June 18, 1967, under the leadership of Rev. Walter Gilbert. The new sanctuary was dedicated on October 18, 1970.
Mount Hermon United Methodist Church disaffiliated from the United Methodist Church in May 2023.
