History of the Lakeview church
The vision for a new UM church started with the men’s group at First United Methodist Church in Minden. The Reverend Ira W. Flowers was pastor at that time. The first service was held at Westside (later Stewart) Middle School on September 9, 1951. The as yet unnamed church was served by the Reverend Harvey Williamson and the following month was designated charter membership month. The church was organized on October 7, 1951 with 72 charter members.
The original choice for a site on Hwy. 80 was abandoned in favor of a site on Turner’s Pond (now Lake). Services were moved to Eastside School, closer to the new site and the church was named Lakeview. After Bobby Turner donated land to the church, a parsonage was built in 1952. A building committee took the design from a church on Mockingbird Lane and reduced it in size. Construction was underway when the first tent revival was held in August 1953. A church bazaar held that December became an annual event.
On February 21, 1954, the new church was opened. The Reverends Pomeroy, Flowers, and Williamson presided over the service. An education building was soon constructed, with the members donating much of the labor and materials. It was named Faircloth Hall in memory of a member of the original planning committee, Richard Faircloth. The hall was doubled in size while the Reverend James M. Poole was pastor (1959-62).
The parsonage was enlarged and remodeled in 1969, and is now the Youth House. A new parsonage was purchased in 2000.
