Gans

The Gans Church was founded in 1905 when a group of families in the area met in a Store to organize a Methodist Protestant Class. The Church was built in 1905, the original structure still being in use in 2019. It has been maintained in a good state of repair. An annex was added to the Church in 1959. In 1945 it became part of the Coke Mission, remaining until 1951 when it was placed on the Fallen Timbers Circuit consisting of Fallen Timbers, Gans and Lake Lynn. The membership in 1968 was 75. The membership on January 1, 2003 was 84. In 2019, Gans UMC became one of 14 churches in a newly formed cooperative ministry called South Fayette Cooperative Parish, serving communities in southern Fayette County.
