Biographical/Historical: |
Pisgah United Methodist Church, located 11 miles northeast of Tallahassee in Leon County, Florida, is one of the oldest Methodist churches in Florida. Missionaries from the South Carolina Methodist Episcopal Conference first held services in the area in the 1820s. The Pisgah mission organized in 1830 as a Methodist Episcopal Church in the Leon Circuit of the Georgia Conference.
In 1845, the issue of slavery divided the Methodist Episcopal Church into north and south methodism. When Florida attained statehood, the Leon Circuit was placed in the Tallahassee District in the Florida Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The Leon Circuit originally covered Leon (except Tallahassee), Gadsden, Jefferson, and Wakulla counties. Pisgah United Methodist Church, along with other churches in the Leon Circuit, met on a quarterly basis to report and record their activities.
In 1939, three Methodist organizations -- the Methodist Episcopal Church, South; the Methodist Episcopal Church; and the Methodist Protestant Church -- reunified into the United Methodist Church of the United States.
