[[Image:FMC-first.jpg|thumb|left|120px|The third building at the church's first permanent church building (date unknown)site, which stood from [[1870]]-[[1881]].]]
In [[1827]], a lot on the northeast corner of [[Tarragona Street|Tarragona]] and [[Intendencia Street]]s was purchased, and a permanent home for the church was built, with the first services held on [[June 22]], [[1828]].<ref>Hoskins, Frank W. (1928). ''[http://fulltext10.fcla.edu/DLData/WF/WF00000044/file14.pdf The History of Methodism in Pensacola, Florida: Its Rise and Progress]''. Cokesbury Press. p. 45.</ref> Several months prior, on [[February 14]], [[1828]], Rev. [[Isaac Boring]] had been appointed to take over the church from Rev. Hardy; Rev. Boring arrived in Pensacola on [[March 12]] and sold his horse to Rev. Hardy for $100, so that Rev. Hardy would have transportation to his next destination.
