Biographical/Historical:
The Methodist Episcopal Church, South was the Methodist denomination resulting from a split over the issue of slavery that divided the churches of the North and South in 1844. During Reconstruction, northern Methodist churches sent missionaries to the South and the church began to flourish in Florida; there were then both North and South Methodist conferences in Florida. In 1939, the two regional denominations reunified as the Methodist Church.
Concord Methodist Episcopal Church of Hinson, Florida was approximately four miles north of Quincy in Gadsden County, Florida, on County Road 272. The church organized in 1875 in the Concord Charge, Tallahassee District, of the Florida Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Concord Methodist Episcopal Church, along with other churches in the Tallahassee District, met on a quarterly basis to report and record their church activities.
