It is the location of the first performance of the hymn "The Old Rugged Cross." The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1] The Old Rugged Cross Foundation, Inc. HistoryMethodist circuit-riders began holding religious services in Pokagon Township in the 1830s.[2] In 1840, a class was organized in Sumnerville. Eventually, the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Pokagon was organized. In approximately 1862, this building was constructed as a hop barn.[3] In 1876, the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Pokagon purchased the building and enlarged and remodeled it into a church. A belfry (now gone) was added, as were pointed-head windows, stained glass, and interior pews.[2] In 1913, the church's pastor Rev. Leroy Bostwick invited his friend. the Rev. George Bennard, to Pokagon to assist in a series of revival meetings at the church.[4] At the meeting, the church choir performed Bennard's newly penned hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross;" it was the first time the hymn was performed in public. Afterward, the Reverend and Mrs. Bostwick financed the first printing of the "Old Rugged Cross," and it quickly became one of the most popular hymns in the United States.[2] In 1914, the congregation purchased the nearby Baptist church, selling this church to John Phillips, who used it as a storage barn.[2] In 1998, the church was purchased for restoration.[4] As of 2013, the restoration was 85% complete, with over $800,000 spent.[5] In 2013 the church received a Governor's Award for Historic Preservation.[6] DescriptionThe First Methodist Episcopal Church of Pokagon is a rectangular, two-story vernacular building measuring {{convert|90|ft}} by {{convert|28|ft}}.[3] It has a gable roof and horizontal bevel-edge siding. A gabled entryway projects from the front facade, and pointed-head windows line the sides. Inside, a flat-ceilinged sanctuary takes up most of the space, with a kitchen at the rear. A Sunday school area is located above the kitchen.
