There are, not surprisingly, three churches found in Three Churches, WV. First is the historic "The Oldest House of Worship in Hampshire County" -- Mt. Bethel Church which was established by the Presbyterians in 1792. It is now on the official Historic Landmark Registry with an official metal marker out front.

Then there is the church just across the road that is surrounded on three sides by a very large cemetery. The church may have been originally built and used as the Branch Mountain United Methodist Church. They probably installed the sign over the entrance to the cemetery that currently says it is the Branch Mt. Cemetery. This building is now occupied by Mt. Bethel Primitive Baptist Church and they hold services there once a month. This is the oldest and largest cemetery in Three Churches, WV, and goes by all of the names in the title of this piece.

About a half mile south of there on Rt. 5 is the current Branch Mountain United Methodist Church. They have their own small cemetery on the side and in back of the church. This is a much newer and smaller cemetery.
