Denton Methodist Episcopal Church Built by Community Effort
A historical account details how Denton Methodist Episcopal Church arose from local support starting in 1908 with donations from figures like J. Freeman and H. B. Warner. Construction expanded in 1934 to a larger facility with 320 seats and a three story Sunday school wing, funded in part by the Ladies Missionary Society and totaling over 15000 dollars. The church later hosted the Western North Carolina District conference in 1938 and grew to around 165 members with active leaders including Pastor Fyott and Carter as Sunday school superintendent.
