Very little information exists about Hebron Methodist Church. The building is in good condition, but it is unclear whether it is being actively used. A peek through the windows reveals the sanctuary neat and clean, hymnals and bibles in the pews, pulpit intact, etc. The church sign has no information about services, pastor's name and the like. It simply has a sign reading "PEACE."

This wood frame building is doing okay for its age. Some peeling paint and wood rot was found in the back on the north side of the building. The front areas look worn, but are being maintained. A propane tank is evidently used for heating.

Hebron Church is set some distance back from the road and, as with many of these older churches, has no parking lot, just a gravel and dirt drive with parking on the grass.
