It has sent out a great number of preachers and singers, one of those was our own beloved Billie Yates, who traveled the length and breadth of the land. The Hurricane Sunday School is the oldest Methodist Sunday School in the county, being organized about 1868. The history of Hurricane Church dates back to 1843 when Richard Minner gave the land to build a church. In 1850 Robert H. Haynes sold a tract of land to Andrew Jackson, but reserved 4 acres which he deeded to the Methodist Church in 1875 for a general burying ground. Some of the oldest graves in Crittenden County are found in the Hurricane Cemetery.
Some dates are before the Civil War.
It is tradition, but no records to prove it, that Old Hurricane church was once known as Big Spring Church. The name being taken from the Big Spring which older people remember at the foot of the hill. The first Camp Meeting was held in 1899. Rev. J.J. Smith attended this first meeting and continued to be the evangelist or one of the preachers for more than 50 years.
