Hall Summit United Methodist Church was located at 6021 Conley Avenue, Hall Summit, Louisiana.

Though there were probably services held in the area earlier, the Hall Summit church traces its origin to 1906. In that year, Samuel N. Stephens and John Andrew Lawson sold two lots to the Methodist Protestant Church for $50 in cash. The deed stated that when the Methodist Protestant congregation wasn’t using it, the church had to be made available for “any Caucasian orthodox denomination” to use. In 1917, the church’s property was sold to the Hall Summit Baptist Church. The Methodists then held their services at the old Woodman Hall. Rev. Mary Bartlett and Rev. Mary Perdue would travel from Texas to hold services in the area at that time.

In 1920, the congregation switched denominations and became the Hall Summit Methodist Episcopal Church, South organized by Rev. R.L. Armstrong. A lot was donated to the church on January 31, 1922, by William Sconyers and J. Fred Sconyers. A parsonage was built on the lot, with Rev. D.C. Bennett as its first occupant. On February 7, 1924, the church bought property with a building on it. Construction began on a new church building in 1926 under the leadership of Rev. W.F. Henderson. In 1954, the church purchased the adjoining property. The house on the property was sold for $300 and used towards the building of a new parsonage. Rev. Floyd Durham moved into the new parsonage in 1956.

Hall Summit United Methodist Church closed in June 2024.
