Free Methodist Church meetings were held in private homes from 1883, with
circuit rider missionaries from as far away as Saratoga Springs coming to
Warrensburg and Johnsburg. The Warrensburg congregation of four people
needed a centralized location after meeting for many years as part of a circuit
in people's homes. The four were Daniel and Mary Bennett and Alonson and
Harriet J. Harrington. The last minutes of the Johnsburg congregation
were in 1904 and those members (6) came to Warrensburg. They met in what
is believed to be the Stone's schoolhouse (currently Dingman property on Route
418). Around 1917 space was rented in a building owned by Martin
Messenger and known as "Hoag's Hall"
(Lewisville). In 1933 they built a modest building on River
Street at the current location. Since then a large addition containing a new
sanctuary was built and parking was greatly expanded.
