Marker text:
Conyers Methodist Church was organized in 1852 by Rev. John
L. Stewart, Rev. Joel Stansell, Rev. David T. White. The present building,
fourth on the site, was dedicated in 1902 by Bishop Warren A. Chandler and
Rev. M.L. Troutman, pastor. This church has always fostered good
citizenship. In 1857 after a political meeting on the grounds a newspaper
reported, "Alexander H. Stephens delivered a great speech that day." A
Women's Foreign Missionary Society was organized in 1878, one of ten
required in each conference for charter. Two missionaries - Rev. D.L.
Anderson to China in 1882 and Miss Layona Glenn to Brazil in 1894 - and one
minister, Rev. A. Lee Hale, ordained in 1920, have been given by this
church.
