Mt. Seal Methodist Church

Front: This Methodist congregation was originally known as Turkey Creek Church. Tradition holds that members first worshipped under a brush arbor. They formally organized by the 1870s. At that time the church was part of the Orangeburg District of the Methodist Episcopal (M.E.) denomination. Reverse: In 1887 nine church trustees acquired two acres at this site along “the public road to Indiantown Church.” They constructed a wood frame church likely using trees harvested from the purchased land. By the early 20th century, the congregation had changed its name to Mt. Seal Methodist Church.
