The
first church building in Bluffton was erected around 1850. It served the
Presbyterians, Methodists and Baptists. After a few years the
Presbyterians sold their interest in the church to the Methodist and Baptists
and moved back to North Ga.
About 1880 the Methodists decided to build another
church and sold their interest in the original church to the Baptists. The
first building and the new building were erected on the community property
donated by Mr. Tommy Davis.
Mrs. Regina Rambo was largely responsible for the new
building which was dedicated in 1886. Active families in the Methodist
fellowship at that time were: The Regina Rambo family, Charles Rambo, J. D.
Rambo, Fielding Rambo and J. J. Hayes.
Rev. Charles L. Hayes is believed to have been the
first pastor. Other early pastors were: W. P. Harrison, S. W. Stubbs, P.
S. Twitty, E. M. Whiting, John B. and E. H. McGehee, J. G. Harrison, W. F.
Smith, Whitley Langston, W. D. McGregor, W. C. Lovett, Ed Cook, W. C. Wardlaw
and a Rev. Culpepper.
