Educational Building was constructed to house the entire Sunday School.
The church building is considered to be an outstanding example of the architecture of its type and period. The glazing and installation of the original windows is of very fine quality and workmanship.
The original communion service is contained in a wall display case constructed by the late Mr. Wallace Chevis as was the repository housing the “Book of Remembrance,” ) the permanent honors and memorial records of the church.
Generations of local families have made Main Street Methodist their church home. Children baptized, confirmed, reared in Sunday School, and married here, now see their children and grandchildren following in the tradition envisioned and established by Shieldsboro’s early founding fathers to the Glory of God.
