John Wesley United Methodist Church History
Founded about 1865, John Wesley United Methodist Church was the first black church in Lamar. The congregation built its first sanctuary here about 1866. The first minister, Rev. John Boston, was a Freedman who twice represented Darlington County in the S.C. House of Representatives, in the 1868-1870 and 1872-1874 sessions. He is buried in the church cemetery. The first church burned in 1906 and was replaced by the present Gothic Revival building. In 1916 the church’s trustees donated a half-acre of land for the construction of Lamar Colored School, which later became Spaulding High School.

Jesus, the Light of the World, as we celebrate your birth... may we begin to see the world in the light of understanding you give us. As you chose the lowly, the outcasts, and the poor to receive the greatest news the world had ever known, so may we worship you in meekness of heart. May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than ourselves in this season of giving. Amen.
