Darlington United Methodist Church History
With the purchase of land, known as “Phillip’s Purchase” from Joseph Worthington, in 1832 a log structure was built on the present site. It was later replaced in 1852 by the current frame structure, with a belfry and vestibule in 1892. A great revival occurred in 1896, with 185 converts in approximately six weeks.
The Church celebrated its 100th anniversary in August 1932, along with the other three churches in the charge: Thomas Run Church (also known as Watters Meeting House) and Rock Run Church.
The Church sold land in 1936 for the new Darlington Elementary School, which replaced the old Darlington Academy located across the street from the church. The old academy building is now the home of Stephenson Lodge and Twice Blessed Thrift Store.
In 1956, the Christian Education Building was constructed and dedicated ten years later in the presence of Bishop John Wesley Lord. It was dedicated in October 1978 to Mr. Edward Knight, who was the Trustee chairman at the time.
Our Church was selected to be on the Christmas in Darlington Tour in December 1978, which included six other properties of the village and area. The Church also started the Darlington Apple Festival in 1982, which officially began as a community event in 1986.
The inside of the Christian Education Building was severely damaged by a fire in December 2001 and was rebuilt in 2003. The new organ was purchased in 2004 and dedicated to Miss Laura Bradford, a long-time Church member and first grade teacher at the Darlington Elementary School.
The Church recently celebrated its 175th Anniversary in November 2007. We are one of 82 properties within the Darlington Historic District, which was listed in 1987 by Christopher Weeks. In June 2014, the Church joined with Dublin United Methodist Church in a Cooperative Parish sharing the same Pastor. Rock Run Church became independent from the charge at the time.

Help my unbelief
Dear God, help my unbelief. When I'm in pain, I forget that you care about me. I forget that you have helped me through my trials. I forget that you hold me in your arms to keep me safe. I forget that you are feeling my pain with me. I forget that you love me, I forget that I am important to you. Show me your presence - let me feel your enveloping love. Heal my hurting soul. Thank you for staying with me even in my unbelief.
