Hay Street United Methodist Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hay Street United Methodist Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina is a congregation of the United Methodist Church. It was the first Methodist church constructed in the city, and it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The congregation was received into the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1808 by Bishop Francis Asbury, and it was completed on June 23, 1835. The current structure was built in 1908, one hundred years after the official organization of the church. The building is known for its elaborate stained glass windows, which feature the lost art of the "robing glass" technique. Renovations to the structure last took place in 1978, including the installation of a Holkamp Organ. The church is currently constructing a new Family Life Center, to be dedicated in March, 2007. The Rev. Dr. John Tyson currently serves as pastor.
