Smyrna Church was organized 1786, by Re. John Newton and the Rev. John Simpson, Presbyterian ministers under the jurisidiction of the South Carolina Pesbytery. Services were first held in the homes of the members. The first Smyrna church edifice, built on this site in 1793, was logs with a steeple. The first regular pastor was the Rev. John Springer, who preached here until 1801. About 1820, the church membership decline to fifteen, and these removed to Washington, to affiliate with the Washington Presbyterian Church.
At this time, the Smyrna Presbyterians, through their elders, tendered the use of the church edifice to the Methodists, who accepted and soon establish a flourishing Methodist Society here. The old church was in use until 1860, when it was torn down and a new building erected. On October 6, 1886, the title to Smyrna church was passed to the Trustees of the Washington Presbyterian of the Smyrna Methodist Church. In 1911, a new building was constructed, the third Smyrna on this site.
In the 1840's, an encampment was prepared near the church, and was used as a camp ground by both Presbyterians and Methodists.
