Providence Church organized by 1813 at a Methodist camp meeting ground located near this site. In 1821, it was one of seventeen members of the Methodist Episcopal (M.E.) Church’s Santee Circuit. The building that stands today is believed to be the congregation’s fourth church. It was built in 1964-65 to replace a c.1840 church that burned. The cemetery dates to at least 1840.
