First Methodist Church Organized In Norris City 1882
The Norris City Illinois First Methodist Church formed in March 1882 with 12 charter members under Rev. L. F. Crow. The group met at Boyd's Mall, planned a building, and grew amid later efforts to construct a new church by 1961, with extensive community aid and a 356 attendance at dedication.
