The New Bethel congregation formed in 1839 after 38 citizens of Greene County successfully petitioned the Knoxville Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for the organization of a new congregation. The church building was constructed in 1841 on a 4-acre (1.6 ha) tract donated by John Harmon. Funds for its construction were donated by James Carter, a local resident who had aspired to join the ministry, but died before he could realize his dream.[2]
