Remember that one time in the past Norton was a mission field. Early Methodist circuit riders came to the area, preaching and holding monthly meetings in the Presbyterian Church and other locations. After outgrowing several other facilities, the cornerstone for the current facility was laid on September 7, 1923. The great depression and a variety of financial difficulties kept the facility from being completed. However, in January of 1924 the congregation began worshiping the basement. After many years and much sacrifice the Norton Methodist Church held the first service in the new Church on March 18, 1951. We are very grateful for our heritage. We have a proud past and a promising future.
...BLESSED BY MEMORY...CHALLENGED BY HOPE...
