The Holmes Valley Methodist Mission was established in 1821-1825. The church was built in 1857.[1] Moss Hill Church is listed in the National Register of Historic Places of the United States. ConstructionThe construction of the church is from heart of pine wood (the center of a pine tree, saturated with sap). This wood also is known in the West Florida dialect as "Fat Lighter". The term "fat" refers to the saturated sap. The term "Lighter" refers to "lighting" or "burning"; as small spikes of this special wood can be used to begin combustion. Upon aging, the wood becomes very strong, impervious to termites or water damage. The altar area of the church was constructed by the Roche Family, early settlers to Holmes Valley, Florida. The church is still in existence today.
