History:
Bethlehem Methodist Church has had a very remarkable history. The growth of this rural church has been continuous to the present.When the founders of this church stood among the hickory and oak trees that grew about this place, their hearts must have thrilled to know that a new place of worship to Almighty God had been established.If they, like us, could be here today,they too would testify to the great things God has done for Bethlehem.Thanks to God for the men and women, and boys and girls,who have made the church here through all the years.

Bethlehem Methodist Episcopal church was located in the southeastern part of Fentress Township,Guilford County, North Carolina.To the mail, and to the Southern railroad,we were known as Climax, North Carolina.This rural community, like many other such communities,found its center around the school house or the church.A log school house was built before there was a church,and was used as a preaching place.
