Forest Home Methodist Church

7470 Forest Home Rd. (CR 46), Forest Home, AL 36030

Butler County

The Reverend Joseph M. Scott, father-in-law of one of the town’s leading citizens, organized Forest Home Methodist Church between 1878 and 1880. The Colonial Revival church building’s most striking architectural features are the Serlian, or Palladian, window in the gable and the heavy cornice capping the door. The building has been maintained in pristine condition. The educational space at the rear is an addition to the original church building. A large cemetery is located diagonally across the road from the church.

Forest Home Methodist Church continues an active ministry today with Sunday school every Sunday and worship services on the first and third Sundays.
