Creek Methodist Episcopal Church, in French Creek Township, a
mile and a half southwest of Milledgeville, was organized early in the
forties [1840s]. Preaching had been done in the neighborhood, in
dwellings and school-houses, by Revs. Hiram Luce and
A. G. Miller, thus laying the foundation
for an organization. In 1842, with about sixteen members, a house 26x24
was built. Enlarged and improved, it served until 1869, when the present
building was erected, G. W. Clure and J.
S. Williams being the contractors. A Sundayschool has been
maintained, with a few exceptions, through the entire year, since 1842.
The congregation is in flourishing condition.
