Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the origins, trials, and triumphs of the First United Methodist Church in Gastonia, North Carolina from 1870 to 1970. Born from a small group of worshippers in a log church known as Shiloh, the congregation faced hardships, division, and the destruction of its first church by fire. Yet, their dedication remained steadfast, leading to the construction of a new church building in 1885 and the expansion of their ministry through the establishment of additional Methodist churches in the growing town. The book traces the church's history through multiple expansions, renovations, and the appointment of various pastors, providing insights into the challenges and achievements of Methodism in the region during a period of significant social and economic change.
