Bethel United Methodist Church History
Bethel United Methodist Church - Hartsville, South Carolina
This Carpenter Gothic church has graced the countryside of Hartsville since 1911. Its congregation, however, is much older, having formed a half-century earlier, in 1856.
For years, local Methodists attended services in neighboring Lydia and Darlington, but eventually they decided to organize a nearby church for themselves. Initially calling their church Jerusalem, the charter members built their first house of worship in August of 1856. By then, the congregation had changed its name to Bethel. The church was built by a Darlington County< native, William H. Atkinson.
Four years after the church was founded, the congregation added a building to its grounds for the Sons of Temperance, a civic organization that opposed alcohol consumption. The church again hired Atkinson for the building's construction. A few years later, Atkinson was killed while serving the Confederacy during the Civil War. Bethel merged with another local Methodist congregation, Snow Hill, in 1885.
The consolidated congregation built a larger church building along the present-day South Carolina Highway 151 Bypass and called itself New Bethel; in time, though, it became more commonly referred to as "Bethel". Bethel began to see its membership decline as older members, particularly from the former Snow Hill congregation, died. Around the turn of the twentieth century, the members of Bethel made the decision to relocate to the church's original site and build a new church. In 1911 Bethel replaced its first church building with the current one, which still houses the active congregation. The Sons of Temperance building that once stood near the original church is no longer extant.

Open our ears.
Blessed Lord, open our ears to hear what Thou speakest and our eyes to see as Thou seest. Give us hearts to beat in sympathy with Thine at the sight of every little child; and above all, our Lord, to understand and experience how surely and how blessedly Thou fulfilest Thy promise, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
