description A Series of newspaper articles and other documents on the early years of the Tennessee Valley Community Church. This congregation was founded as the Methodist Community Church ca. 1940 on the site and in the building of the former First Congregational Church (ca. 1876-ca. 1939) at 113 North Pine Street after a recent split at the St. Paul AME Church (ca. 1839-). Until 1952 the congregation was listed in city directories as the Methodist Community Church; by 1952 it was listed as the Tennessee Valley Community Church. Earlier, 1940s newspaper references to the church referred to it as the Tennessee Valley Community Church. The congregation's first pastor was Mrs. Hattie Jackson Davis (1884-1941), wife of noted Tuscumbia physician Dr. Arthur W. Davis (1875-1941). Mrs. Davis died on October 27, 1941. On Sunday, August 9, 1942 Rev. Henry Wilmer was installed as the congregations second pastor by the Rev. JT Ridley, Dean and Professor of Systematic Theology of the M. & C. W. Institute of Nashville, Tenn.
