Dancyville United Methodist Church is a historic church in the Dancyville community in Haywood County, Tennessee. The church and its cemetery were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. [1]

The church property was deeded to the Methodist Church in 1835. Two years later, in 1837, the congregation was organized and a log church building was built on the property. [2] The current building was completed in 1850, replacing the log church. It is a wood frame building in a Greek Revival design, built from trees growing on the church grounds; the lumber was hewn and sawed by hand. [2] [3] It is one of only a few extant antebellum churches in rural west Tennessee. [2]

St. James United Methodist Church is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. The congregation began as a Sunday school in the northwest part of the city organized by Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church. The evangelist Billy Sunday had preached a revival there and over 300 people joined the church. St. James Methodist Episcopal Church, as it was then known, was established shortly afterward in February 1910. The congregation originally used the closed Danish Lutheran Church at K Avenue NW and Fourth Street NW for their services, and they moved the building that summer to Ellis Boulevard NW. St. James grew to the point that a new building was needed. In 1945 property across the street was purchased, and local architect William J. Brown designed the new church facility. Construction began in September 1952 and it was completed in April 1954 for $165,000.
