Van Wert Church
This humble church represents a journey of God’s people that began in Van Wert, Georgia, and continues today. This historic place is unique in several ways: it is the oldest standing structure in Polk County; it is “home” to seven other major local congregations; it is a Civil War burial site; and the first church of famous evangelist Reverend Sam P. Jones.

Originally called, “Cleantown,” the name was changed to Van Wert in 1837 and was the Paulding County Seat. In the late 1850’s Welsh immigrants settled in Van Wert following the discovery of slate in the area and many are buried in the Van Wert Church Cemetery.

The sacred place was also refuge for a Union soldier. William C. Titze, who spent a rainy night huddled beneath the church in May 1864. In October of the same year, Union General Judson Kilpatrick met up with Confederate forces on his journey to Atlanta and a young Private named Albert Anderson. 16, was killed. He is buried in the Van Wert cemetery, along with other Civil War casualties whose journeys ended there.

Family members of Charles Porter Campbell, one of the founding members, undertook a major restoration effort in 1949. Over the years, the church had fallen in disrepair and the cemetery overgrown. Mrs. Peggy Willoughby organized the Euharlee Valley Historical Society in order to capture the historic place and obtained deeds to the property in 1999.
