Biographical History

The Red Oak Methodist of Williamson, Georgia, was founded in 1823. The land for the church was deeded through Isaac B. Williamson and Gills Driver to two trustees, William M. Simmons and Benjamin F. Harper. The church originally stood on a site near a large red oak tree that was mentioned in the deed. The first pastor was Andrew Hamell. The only recorded member for the first year was Frances Allen. There are no records of class leaders until 1872.

In 1856 the present church building was built. The vestibule, steeple and bell were added in 1902. The church was remodeled in 1946 under the leadership of the Rev. C. B. Drake. Originally a part of the Griffin Circuit, Red Oak was placed on the Williamson Circuit in 1922. It is currently a part of the Heck Chapel-Red Oak Charge.
