Four families organized the Methodist Church of Prairie Lea: George Francis, Pendleton Rector, W.F. Happle and Dr. James Fentress. For twenty years they met for worship in the early school buildings, and then worshipped in the Prairie Lea Academy which was built in 1854.
In 1871, Thomas Mooney deeded the land to the church for one dollar in which the current church was constructed in 1874.
With the congregation and the needs of the community growing, a Family Life Center was completed in 2002.
