Brief History
The
Jonesborough United Methodist Church has been a part of Tennessee's oldest
town since it was first organized as a church in 1822. Work was started
on the church structure in 1845, and looked very much the same as it does
today.
In the past
century and a half Jonesborough has continued to make a faithful witness.
It has ministered to the needs of neighbors here at home and around the
world. Although Jonesborough has a proud and distinguished history, the
greatest focus of attention is placed on how we can minister faithfully
now and in the future by fulfilling the great commission of Jesus Christ.
