In 1853, the congregation established a second church building, due to Gum Creek’s demise with the establishment of a new settlement by Jackson Smith. But by 1856, the Methodists had outgrown the building, and another building was built on an adjacent lot.
In 1908, the church conveyed all of its property to First Methodist Episcopal Church, south of Jacksonville. FUMC is now located at 1031 SE Loop 456
