Wacousta Community United Methodist Church was founded in 1866 as a Methodist Episcopal church. In 1867, our first building was built, and in 1968, with the merger of the Methodist and Evangelical United Brethren denominations, we became the United Methodist Church. Following the path of John Wesley (1703-1791), Methodists comprise one of the largest Protestant denominations in the United States.

We have been housed in many buildings on this site, but our focus has remained the same for over 150 years: to serve God and to be examples of his love in our actions.
