This congregation began in 1860, with the Rev. E. P. Rogers serving as its first circuit minister. Worship services were first held in a tent. In 1893, Virginia and James W. Yeates deeded property to the Homer church, and a sanctuary was completed on this site by Christmas 1896. Constructed by members of the Homer community, the building also served many years as a schoolhouse. The congregation has had numerous circuit ministers, including the Rev. John A. Henderson (1858-1946), who served the Homer Methodist Church for many years of his ministry.
