The exact date of the beginning of Old Bethesda Church is lost in the mists of time, but the undying rememberence of what this building has meant in the lives of those who built it and those who came later to worship, cannot be measured. Families came from miles around to hear the Word of God. Today the church is not used except on special occsions and ceremonies, but it stands as a symbol of the triumph of chritian people over the adversities of life.

In this interior view of the church shows a group participating in the memorial service to honor the 35 veterans of the Confederate War buried in the churchyard here. Note the galleries!
