Church The Methodist Protestant Church in Asheboro in which the one hun dredth annual conference of the Meth odist Protestant denomination in North Carolina is now in session was j erected in 1921. At the fourth quar- j teriy conference in 1919, while the ! late Rev. C. L. Whitaker was pastor, it was decided that a new church building was needed. Plans were made and committees were appointed, these being as follows: Building com mittee, Arthur Ross, chairman, W. F. Redding, Virgil Presnell, W. A. Bunch and J. A. Way; Finance, Dr. John Swaim, chairman, J. S. Lewis, J. D. Ross, 0. R. Fox and W. L. Ward. The building was begun during the pastorate of Rev. L. W. Gerringer, now pastor of the Calvary M. P. Church, in Greensboro, and completed under the pastorate of Rev. H. F. Fogleman, now pastor of the Gran ville circuit. The painting seating was completed during the present pas torate of Rev. J, E. Pritchard. This church building replaced the original which was completed in 1892. The original church was built under the supervision of the late Rev. W. R. Lowdermilk. In 1891 the time seemed ripe for the establishment of a Methodist Protestant church in Asheboro. Con sequently Rev. W. A. Bunch, father of W. A., J. C. and Robert Bunch, of Asheboro, who was at that time pres ident of the North Carolina Annual M. P. Conference, came to Asheboto and met with the following commit tee: the late Peter Vuncannon of Asheboro; the late J. A. Spencer of New Hope church and S. R. Richard son'of-Richland township. The meet ing was held in the office of the sher iff in the county court house. To this committee were added R. R. Ross and Wm. C. Hammer, of Asheboro. After discussing the matter among themselves and friends among whom were the late E. A. Moffitt of the Christian church, the late W. P. Wood of the M. E. church and the late A C. McAlister of the Presbyterian church, it was decided to undertake the er ection of a house of worship. The lot was purchased from the late Dr. J. M. Worth and the deed was made to the above named committee and their successors. Rev, W. R. Lowdermilk was appointed by the President of the Conference to come to Asheboro to so licit subscriptions and build church. Messrs. W. F. Redding, R. R. Ross and E. G. Lowdermilk constituted the building committee. The church was completed early in 1892. Through the assistance of Capt A. M. Rankin, the membership and friends, seats were purchased, some of which remain in the present build ing. The bell was donated by the late John H. Ferree, a cotton manu facturer of Randleman, who always contributed willingly and readily to churches and school buildings through out this section of the State. The first sermon was preached in the new church in May, 1892, by Rev. W. M. Pike, who was serving the Randleman charge, and who was appointed to preach also in the Asheboro church until the anrtual conference met in the falL The church was organised with thirteen members, composed of the following: Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Ross, Bertie Ross, Mrs. Jennie Hancock, Minnie Lee Hancock, Wm. C. Ham mer, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Redding. Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Davis and J. H. Wright. Rev. Mr. Pike served as pastor until the conference of 1892, when Rev. C. A. Cecil was assigned to this and the Randleman church, serving five years. During the pastorate of Mr. Cecil the church was dedicated. Rev. W. A. Bunch preached the dedicatory ser mon on October 27, 1895, using as his text Hebrews 11:7. Other ministers who have served the church as pastors include Revs. J. R. Savage, William Porter, W. R. Lowdermilk, W. A. Bpnch, W. E. Swaim, T. M. Johnson, T. J. Ogbum, C. L. Whitaker, L. W. Gerringer, H. F. Fogleman and J. E. Pritchard, present pastor. The church has entertained the an nual conference twice prior to the present session, the dates being No vember 1894 and November 1902. The same spirit of co-operation which the various denominations of Asheboro manifested in the days of the founding of the Asheboro Meth odist Protestant church still prevails and has been amply manifested this week in the opening of the many homes of the town for entertainment of the delegates and ministers of the 100th conference now in session in the local church.
