The History

First United Methodist Church is taking a strategic look at how it might align its facilities with its ministries to better serve the congregation and the community. While the beautiful sanctuary houses worship services, concerts, and plays, the support area behind the sanctuary – the offices, gym, meeting halls, and classrooms – are used less regularly. Nearing the end of their first century,  these facilities are particularly expensive to maintain and less frequently used. Second Century Project is a team of volunteers and clergy who are exploring the possibilities for maintaining the sanctuary and careful redevelopment of the back half of the remaining complex.
