Nolensville First United Methodist Church

Nolensville First UMC was originally founded as Mount Olivet Methodist Episcopal Church, South in 1837, with a charter membership of 37. It was approximately one and a half miles south of Nolensville on Williams Road, and the first building was made from clay dug nearby and the seats were split logs. On weekdays, this building served as a school for village children.

In 1858, the congregation moved to a building that could seat 300 about a quarter mile south of Nolensville, on Nolensville Pike. This building was used by both Confederate and Union troops during the Civil War and was extensively damaged.

in 2000 an entirely new building was added to our campus. New offices, an Education Wing ( also housing Jacob’s Ladder Preschool), a large Fellowship Hall below, and the Breezeway Bridge connector were added.
