This charming church is on Wardensville Grade between Winchester and Star Tannery, Virginia. Next door to it is a brick church called Mt. Pleasant-Lamps United Methodist Church.
Lamps Church was founded in 1857. According to their history online , the original building was used as a hospital during the Civil War. A new brick church was dedicated in 1962. Available records for Lamps date back to 1800. Meetings were held in a log school house 400 yards from the present site, where a Methodist Episcopal Church, South was built in 1982. The evangelical United Brethren Church merged with the Methodist church in 1968-1970. Mount Pleasant and Lamps were joined together in 1978. The congregation worships in the newer, Mount Pleasant facility, except for 5th Sundays when they return to worship at Lamps.
