History of our church Building:

 

 

More Research is being done, but earliest records of church being built go back to 1790 and more research is being done.

 

Once Methodist Protestant - West Virginia Conference. In 1860 a number of people withdrew from an existing Methodist Protestant Church known as the “Calico Church.” one of a few previous names for current building still standing today. One of the separatists, George Kussart, built a Church on some land he owned jointly with his wife, Rebecca. Beginning in 1865 church school classes were held in the new Church eight months out of the year, with preaching services held irregularly. In 1877 the two congregations were reconciled and regular joint services began to be held alternately in the two Churches.

 

In 1886 the older Calico Church became a community building and the two congregations united to worship and work together again as one Methodist Protestant congregation in the new Church. In 1888 George and Rebecca Kussart deeded the building and an adjoining lot to the trustees to the Church and the Pittsburgh Conference. Some time after 1888 the Church was closed for a time but it was reorganized and reopened in 1912 as part of the West Virginia Conference Methodist Protestant until the Reunion in 1939 and has been in constant use. The Church is on the Mount Morris Circuit comprised of Bald Hill, Mount Morris, Shannon Run, and Taylortown. In 2001 the Circuit consisted of Mount Morris, Bald Hill and Taylortown. The membership in 1968 was 50. The membership on January 1, 2003 was 26. Taylortown UMC closed on June 27, 2016.

 

Church was Purchased by Ralph and Sue Keener to become Healing Wings Outreach INC., Non Denominational
