-1912-

The Woodville United Methodist Church closed its door after 124 years of Christian worship. A final service was held at 11:00am, Sunday, June 9, 1996.
    The original Methodist Church was built in 1871.  It was the first church building in Woodville. Therefore, it was also used for meetings of other denominations until they were able to build their own.  The church was also used by different organizations as a meeting place.
     The original building no longer exists.  The present building was constructed in 1912 on land donated by members of the community.  It is the oldest church building in Woodville.  It stands  today as it was originally constructed, a white frame building with very high ceilings.  
     Over the years many improvements and changes have been made to the church, such as
Sunday school classrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom.  The church was originally heated by a large pot bellied stove, which was later replaced by gas heaters.  In 1970, central heating and  air conditioning was installed.  
     In July of 1998, the North Alabama Conference deeded the church to the Town of Woodville. The church then became known as the Woodville Methodist Chapel.  The Woodville Parks and Recreation Board and other members of the community have made repairs and improvements to the building since that time.
     The Chapel is now being used as a meeting place for civic and community organizations.  It is also used for weddings and family gatherings.
