→The first permanent home
Rev. [[Adam Wyrick]] took over in [[1829]]; he wrote of Pensacola: "... a most terribly ... wicked place. Can see little evidence of good being accomplished." His successor, Rev. Dr. [[John W. Talley]], was the last pastor sent by the South Carolina conference; the Pensacola-Escambia mission was again transferred in 1831, this time to the Georgia conference, who sent as pastor Rev. [[P. C. Shelman]].
This first church building suffered two fires and in [[1881]] the property was sold <ref>Hoskins, [http://fulltext10.fcla.edu/DLData/WF/WF00000044/file20.pdf p. 81].</ref> and the church constructed a new facility on the northwest corner of [[Palafox Street|Palafox]] and [[Garden Street]]s.
