The Bennington Methodist Episcopal Church was founded 1834/1840, according to the History of Switzerland Co. (p. 1163), and from 1855-56 members worshiped in the same building as the United Brethren Church on a site donated by Dr. Cole. The first members of the Methodist Episcopal Society were listed as Zenis Sissons, Jordan Wainscott, Philip Etherington, William Pierce, Levi Orem Sr., Simeon Slawson and others.
A new church building was dedicated on Nov. 1, 1877, according to a church history written in 1952 by Ben V. Welch. He also quotes from a deed from Thomas B. and Dora McGregor who sold the church lot in fractional Section 6 Twp. 3N Range 3W to the trustees on Jan. 19, 1877 for $50. Trustees at the time of the sale were C.M. Newkirk, D.C. Valentine, J.M. Smith, Jordan Wainscott, and C.M. Johnson.".
