History and description

The first Methodist church in the area was built in 1835 in Lockwood. From 1839 to 1844, the Plaster Mill in Stanhope was used for services. In 1844, a new frame church was built on Linden Avenue in Stanhope. Construction of the current stone church in Netcong was started in 1917 and completed in 1920. It was designed by the ecclesiastical architect Floyd Yard Parsons and features Tudor Revival and English Gothic styles.[3][4]
