"Methodism in Corning began as early as the years 1832, although not until 1839 was the Corning circuit formed. The first house of worship was built in 1839, the second in 1860, and the third, the present large and beautiful church edifice, during the years 1893-94. It stands on the site of the old church, and cost $40,000. This church has more than 800 members, and is the oldest in Steuben county. The present pastor, Rev. Henry C. Woods, began his services here in 1891."
