Grandview Methodist Church

The Grandview Methodist Church
by Thomas Rothrock
Published in "Flashback", Vol III, No. 3, May 1957, page 19.

The Grandview Methodist Church South was built in the late 1870s by the Greathouse family and their neighbors and was located on the heights above Clear Creek Valley a short distance northwest of Greathouse Springs. [Greathouse Springs was just west of Johnson--CMD]. The site where it stood is now occupied by an atractive modern home.

Seemingly no minutes of meetings were kept. As the Grandview Church was not built until some years after the Civil War, the reception date given for the earliest members evidently indicates when they were received into some other Methodist church.
