Rivertown United Methodist Church (est. 1887)
Rivertown United Methodist Church has an extensive written history dating back to the late 1800s when members worshiped under primitive brush arbors.
In 1887, they acquired land on North Rivertown Road and built a wooden church named Pleasant Hill Methodist Episcopal Church, and established a church cemetery there. In 1974, the name was changed to Rivertown Methodist Church, and few years later it became Rivertown United Methodist Church located within the Atlanta College Park District of the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. In 1976, Rivertown UMC acquired 3 acres of land 2 miles east of Rivertown Road at Jenkins Road and broke ground on a new church building. On May 15, 1977, members held their final prayer service at the old church, then traveled by motorcade procession to their new church at 9325 Rivertown Road in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. In honor of the Rivertown UMC 138th Anniversary, this page has been augment to include the church's written history, heritage videos and transcriptions, photo albums, and cemetery reports. |
