Bethany United Methodist Church
(Lowe's Crossroads)
In the early part of the twentieth century,
members of the Old Jones’ Methodist Church
began to search for a more central
location for the congregation to worship.
Although the land for the new church was
donated by Sarah C. Collins in 1914,
construction of the building had already
begun the previous year. Incorporated on
March 5, 1914, the church was named Bethany
Methodist Episcopal Church. The name was
reportedly taken from the church attended
by department store pioneer John Wanamaker,
who had made a donation toward the completion
of this church. Dedicated in June of 1914,
the church added the community hall during
the 1920’s.
