Mount Sterling Methodist Church, Greek Revival Methodist church in Mount Sterling, Alabama, US

Mount Sterling Methodist Church is a one-story rectangular frame building with a gable roof running its length, set on individual brick piers and clad in white-painted lap board siding. Two pairs of entry doors sit under a plain gable-end pediment, and a square, pyramidal-roofed steeple with louvered vents rises near the entrance end. Each side has four nine-over-nine sash windows with shutters; the rear has two.

Completed in 1859 in the Greek Revival style, it was the first building in Choctaw County erected solely as a church; an earlier Baptist church had begun as a Masonic lodge and seminary. The Catterlin family, early settlers who had opened Mount Sterling's post office in 1838, donated the land. Services continued until the 1970s, when the dwindling congregation could no longer afford upkeep. In 1980 the property passed to the Choctaw County Historical Society, which spent over 15 years restoring it as a community hall.

The building no longer holds Methodist services; since the 1980 restoration by the Choctaw County Historical Society it has served as a community hall. The name comes from the rural community of Mount Sterling, where the Catterlin family had established a post office in 1838. It is one of only two surviving 19th-century churches in the area, alongside St. John's Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.

The church stands near the junction of Choctaw County Road 43 and Choctaw County Road 27 in rural Mount Sterling. It is a one-story frame building raised on individual brick piers, with two pairs of entry doors on the front facade. Services ended in the 1970s and the building now serves as a community hall.

The grounds hold both the original 19th-century building and a burial ground with gravestones stretching back to the early 1800s. Walking through both structures together gives visitors a sense of how long this place has mattered to people in the area.
