NEWNAN FIRST METHODIST

Newnan First Methodist Episcopal Church

The cornerstone for the first brick building of the Newnan First Methodist Episcopal Church was laid on August 25, 1874. Two views of the old church building are shown in these photographs. The church, the congregation of which is now Newnan First United Methodist Church, was located at the southwest corner of Jackson and Madison Streets and completed in June 1885. In 1909, the church was renovated, and memorial windows were installed. Later, in 1928, the congregation moved into a new church building on Greenville Street, where the church remains today.
