About Us:

Conyers First United Methodist Church was founded in 1852 and continues a rich tradition of service to our community. In 1852 21 people organized the Methodist Episcopal Church South in Conyers at the site of our current sanctuary on Main Street. Caleb W. Key was our first pastor. 1868 - The congregation outgrew the first sanctuary, so they sold it and rolled it down Main Street to Pleasant Hill. A new white frame sanctuary with a single tall steeple was erected. 1878 - Woman's Foreign Missionary Society was organized in the church.

Iron stoves and kerosene lamps were still the means of heating and lighting, but an organ replaced the tuning fork. 1900 - The church burned again, this time by accident. 1902 - Our current sanctuary was constructed for $14,000. 1905 - Electricity was brought into the new sanctuary.1918 - A community mass meeting of prayer was held in our church as the World War was in a most critical stage 1925 - Our church, in conjunction with the Presbyterians and Baptists,
