"Our church is one of the oldest in Jefferson County, being built in 1847 at a cost of $500.00 by the Seventh Day Baptist Society.  A Methodist Society was organized in 1868 with both Societies using the building until 1877 when it was given to the Methodists.  The Reverend Anson Cheeseman was the minister at the time, and the Trustees were Orange Dimick, Ira Hall, and Schuyler Washburn.
        In the 1800's the church membership was 30, with 60 enrolled in the Sunday School.
        During the following century many repairs and innovations have taken place; among them, new roofs, electricity, basement dug under building, new furnace, installation of aluminum siding, and newly painted Sanctuary in 1988.  Many of the earlier projects were accomplished by volunteers.
        Our church was yoked with Sackets Harbor from 1868-1929; then with Dexter; and with Adams since 1980.
        We have always had an active Sunday School and United Methodist Women's Group (formerly the Women's Society of Christian Service, and before that, the Ladies' Aid Society).
        Each generation has produced hard working, dedicated men and women who have loved the Church and made it a busy, friendly fellowship trying to fulfill God's purposes."

The church is across the street from the Sulpher Springs Cemetery, and Hounsfield Schoolhouse No. 19.  The church, cemetery, and schoolhouse are all in use today, the latter having been converted into Sulpher Springs Grange Hall many years ago.
