Lewisburg, WVJohn Wesley Methodist Church in Lewisburg, West Virginia is a circa 1820 colonial- Greek Revival style brick church featuring a cupola belfry, high ceilings and slave galleries. Additions were made to the front in 1835. In May 1862 during the Battle of Lewisburg the John Wesley Church was struck by a cannonball fired from Confederate artillery, striking the outer wall of the church near the gallery stairs.

Today, the John Wesley Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is still used as a house of worship.
