Members erected their first meeting place in 1831 on the hill at the southeast end of the present borough on ground donated by Frank Platt, and later owned by Mrs. Michael Flanigan. A second church building was erected on the east side of Fishing Creek in 1855, where the present church building now stands. It was a 2-story building made of stone and frame erected on land donated by George Bressler.
     By the year of 1905, the third church was in the process of construction with the contract awarded to Griffith Garrett of Rebersburg, and the building committee working faithfully under the leadership of Rev. J.J. Resh. The building committee consisted of Elmer Tevling, A.B. Painter, M.G. Coffey, B.J. Bowers, William Hunter and Sutton Kreidler. On June 10, 1906, the dedication took place with Charles Boswell delivering the dedicatory sermon. The sanctuary was built on the second floor for a capacity of 300. It has 12 stained glass windows, and the woodwork is cypress in natural finish.
     In 1937, the sanctuary was completely renovated in preparation for the 110^th anniversary of Methodism in Mill Hall. A week of special services began Sep. 28, 1941 under the leadership of Rev. Ezra Parks.
