The church was organized in 1885.
Nearby Fillmore Methodist Episcopal Church had closed, and the members
of that congregation became founding members of the Haughton church.
The original church structure
was used until 1910. A new church was built that year, and the original
church served as the parsonage. A new parsonage was built in 1949.
Construction of a new church
began in late 1947. The church was soon completed and the first service
held on May 16, 1948. Services were held once a month in those days.
Love Chapel on Hwy. 80 began as a mission of the
Haughton church. |

You’ll have to turn right on N. Maple, which turns left into N. Taylor,
