Paperback
Founded in 1865, Epworth Methodist Church traces its roots to the early days of circuit-riding preachers and spirited camp meetings held on a former Cherokee ballfield near Fightingtown Creek. This book explores the important role the church played in the birth of the Epworth community, and the powerful influence of local copper mining, railroads, education, and tourism on its growth. Through it all, the church’s sanctuary has stood as a guiding presence—helping shape a resilient community proud of its pioneer heritage.
