Thank you for visiting. You are
always welcome. The United
Methodist Church has many doors
through which people share in
serving God and others. Whether
you visit in person or via the
Internet, we hope you discover
something here to encourage you
in your spiritual journey.
First United Methodist Church is
one of four United Methodist
congregations in Lancaster. The
others are Sixth Avenue, Mills
Memorial, and Maple Street. The
United Methodist witness has
been in Fairfield County and
Lancaster since 1799.
93
years and several church
buildings after Methodism
established itself in Lancaster,
the current building of the
First United Methodist Church,
located on the northwest corner
of High and Wheeling Streets,
was built beginning in 1905.
Major renovations took place in
1950 including the construction
of the education wing of the
church.
In
1957 the Rising property,
located on the southwest corner
of High and Wheeling Streets,
was purchased and it continues
to be used for education,
meeting rooms and for extra
parking.
In
2005 the church looked to the
future and stepped out in faith
to purchase land on the west
side of Lancaster and to
construct Crossroads, located on
Fair Ave., a multipurpose
facility to extend the reach of
its ministry in this community.
It was dedicated in April 2007.
