Our History

1928 - 1958

  Mt Comfort was a church that helped many parents and grandparents through some of the worst times in our nation's history.  If the walls and floorboards could talk, they would tell of support they offered as the district prayed while the Great Depressions ravaged the country and closed its jaws on everyone.  Those same boards could also tell of the many joyous baptisms and weddings which occurred through the years.

In 1938, the national leadership of the various Methodist groups decided the unify. As a result, Mt Comfort dropped the term Episcopal from the name and became the Mt Comfort Methodist Church.

In the 40's, the community and the church settled into a period of slow and steady growth.  Vacation Bible School, 4-H Fair Food Stands and Christmas Caroling at Burn's Nursing Home and the annual Smorgasbord at the church. These were the days of Sam and Laura Scalf, Georgia and John Thomas,, Allen and Stella Eastes, Jim and Mickey Fentz, Lula Blue, Ruth Kelly and a hundred other people who devoted their hands and hearts to keep the church alive and growing.  In 1952, the church yard was landscaped. In 1954, the parking lot was expanded and a bulletin board was installed in front of the church.  In 1956, Mt Comfort Methodist Church needed more space and once again remodeling began.

  In 1958, the construction was complete.  Mt Comfort consecrated the new sanctuary on August 20.  It was a far more beautiful area of worship.  The wood was blonde and a gold velvet drape was hung behind the new pulpit.  The ever burning light and the brass cross (which currently adorns our sanctuary) were part of this remodeling. Many of the additions along with other donations were memorial donations.  On September 21, 1958, the church held its 30th annual Homecoming.
