The church building of the society called the Newkirk Methodist Church was erected in the year 1836, upon land owned jointly by Cyrus Newkirk and William Niblack. It was built of brick; and after a few years was taken down and rebuilt upon a site further up the hill. The subscription for this church was started by Samuel Babcock, and was so successful that a commodious brick church, forty-four by sixty feet in size, was the result of the effort. The first great revival held by this denomination in Fallowfield township was under the charge of Rev. John Spencer and David Cross, and among the early converts were John Jones, Sarah Newkirk, Maria Niblack, Mary Jones, Elijah Jones, Jesse Jones, Eleanor Jones, William Jones, and his wife, and Annie K. Bentley. The tombstone readings were done in 1965 by Ms. Virginia Naser and Ms. Almetta Jones and typed by Ms. Irene P. Lignian in 1970. The records are found in the genealogical section of the Citizens Library in Washington, PA.
